terminal-serverwindows

I need to know the answer from different aspects.

1) Where can I set the maximum number of concurrent sessions in the admin tools?

2) What's the most common hardware configuration for a Terminal Server that you have seen and how many concurrent sessions can it support?

3) What's the most powerful hardware confiugration for a Terminal Server that you have seen and how many concurrent sessions can it support?

EDIT

Assuming that the user is just using Microsoft Office and maybe some admin tools.

Our TS servers are each configured with two dual-core Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz processors and 8GB of RAM running W2K3 EE SP2. Our users run Microsoft Office applications, our own application, IE, Adobe Reader, Notepad, etc. We comfortably get 50-60 sessions per server and have had as many as 75 sessions with no percievable performance issues.
