Re: [K12OSN] Stress Test

["Chris Thomas" <chris chris-thomas info>]

The k12ltsp setup we have is a Duron 700 with 1.5gb ram and a ata100 hd and
we get like 10-12 workstations all going at the same time (mozilla and
staroffice running). The funny thing is that the cpu isn't fully used and
not all the ram is used up but we can only get like 10-12 workstations. Your
mileage may vary depending on your setup.
