We currently have 20 concurrent users, and the CPUs (Dual Opteron 252s)
are usually quiet. The system load is currently under 1. Running
Fedora Core 5 with Gnome 2.14, Firefox 1.5, OpenOffice.org 2.0.3, it
seems 2GB is a good amount for 20 users.
I don't know if they use LTSP specifically, but the City of Largo,
Florida, has a Linux terminal system with hundreds of users. The unique
thing there is they have specific servers to run specific applications.
Here's 180 concurrent users running Evolution on one server:

Also, check out the success stories page on the LTSP wiki.
