That may over-allocate RAM, but even if it doesn't it would certainly leave very little available for disk cache, so the user sessions would likely be constantly paging to disk, which would be painfully slow if the disk subsystem is magnetic.

You are correct. I was talking about 2 GB per a user memory space. And this is how, I believe, it was understood by the Citrix engineer. I would rather be on the high side and control the memory from the app than don't have enough memory.
