Commenets on Running Citrix on SQL Server? Anyone doing this?

Our work is currently looking at getting a dual processor machine with 4GB
Ram to run SQL Server 2000 and as a Citrix server?
Is this possible? What gotcha's should I be looking out for?
Any comments appreciated...
Thanks,
RogI am pretty sure you need to run them on seperate servers, or else, use a VM
solution such as VMware to run two seperate VM servers on your dual proc 4GB
server.

the Citrix database.
Whether you'd want to do it for performance reasons is another matter, you'd
certainly want to limit the memory SQL will use.

good idea or not is hard to say when you don't say anythnig about database
sizes, number of users etc. Keep in mind that SQL server will grab a lot of
memory and so will Citrix. Citrix will allocate memory for every user
connected to the server and depending on what application the client is
running it will also try to grab more and more memory.
