X + Gnome + Mozilla + Evolution + Open Office + some KDE apps takes its toll on memory. I also anticipated some of GIMP and remote audio. Plus, from what I've observed new users love the virtual desktops that they tend to leave applications open. I think you can make do with 32Mb/client but only if they are not used simultaneously or that you use light weight apps or window managers. Using a SCSI disk and delegating some server functions to other servers should also help.
