I've had a W2k3 DC running on a pentium III 500MHz machine with 128MB RAM. Granted that was not with 80 users but 5.

I'd rather have 2 lower spec'd DC's (for fault tolerence) than one higher spec DC.

to run TS for 80 users on a dc??

Or 80 TS users on TS Servers?

Ideally you need two, but something with at least 512mb and 1.8+ Ghz should be ok depending on profiles etc.
