@wash

Am looking at serving 150 users at the same time, Wash according to your math i would need roughly 15 core i7 pc's.  I am also considering the cost of implementing the solution or i just go for 150 PCs. Take into consideration am on windows platform running server 2008 R2 and windows 7 on client PC's.

Based on the facts given, what would you recommend ? (taking cost into consideration)

H Alex,

Allow me to seek clarification on this since I've never gone above 10 devices/users. What would be the limitation on a non-Server OS?

if you go for n-computing, make sure you get the originals. alot of fakes exist in the market. if you need to go beyond 10 to say to 30 you need to use a server os on the host. also consider the thin client offerings from hp + virtualization (VMware) Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Get a powerful workstation like HP Z230 (the core i7 model) and fill it with RAM to max. It takes 32GB. Assuming you let the OS+Installed apps to take 8GB, you have 24GB to give to users. So assume each user takes 3GB for their operations, you can have 8 comfortable users, but that is even on the higher side as each user might require about 2GB depending on what they run... so 12 users hypothetically will be very comfortable. I am also assuming you will go for the N-Computing's L300 or the M-series... both should work very well. I have worked with the L-series (230 and 300) on WIndows 7 64-bit. I haven't done in WIndows 8 but shouldn't be so different.
