Or larger. Remember that Windows uses virtual memory too. Besides, I doubt whether the entire EXE has to be loaded all at once into RAM + virtual memory.

Although this will speed things up, maintenance (upgrading) is easier if you launch from a shared network folder.

>But there is a next question:
>what about application that runs on terminal server - does size matter in such environment (for example 20 user an 1GB memory on server) ?

Personally, I don't know about terminal server, but I understand you save the overhead of transferring the EXE over the network. Only images are transferred - and I was told (by the president of dbi-tech) that a 386 with 8 MB RAM can handle that.
