I am hesitant to say that you are good to go with those citrix servers.
The RAM seems a bit too low for any kind of heavy use in my opinion.
Especially if you plan on running 25 users per citrix server for a total of
75 users accross the 3 citrix servers?
Unless I am misreading your intent and it is 25 users across all 3, with 8
or so per server, then that shouldn't likely be much of a problem with the
specs of those citrix servers.
