[THIN] Citrix on VMware

While we're talking about design considerations, I want to bounce another one off you guys.

The customer requires all presentation servers run on VMware.  From what I can gather the optimal Citrix VM looks something like this:
2GB Ram
1 vCPU
Do not use balloon memory driver.
Place page file on separate virtual disk from the system disk.
beyond that standard optimization tweaks as desired.

From your experience and observation is this optimal?  I'm expecting to get 15-20 users per server.

Customer currently uses more RAM, dual vCPU's and balloon driver enabled.  

Regards,
CW
