"I've been asked about multi-monitor support for Citrix ICA Sessions twice in the last week or so from two different sources so I thought it useful to pop this in as a post? The maximum memory allowed for use as a buffer by each client connection on a MetaFrame server is 7,680,000 bytes. This maximum is a limit to the operating system and is not configurable. Up to the maximum amount of memory can be set in the Citrix Management Console at the farm or server level, but this also can be application-dependent. When the memory limit is exceeded in a seamless connection, the session is displayed in a fixed window with scroll bars. Seamless mode factors in the entire resolution of all monitors in a multi-monitor configuration. This chart shows various combinations of color and resolutions with various numbers of monitors and the amount of memory required for the ICA session. Don't forget that this is a maximum limit "per session" and ICA will always try to utilize "session sharing" where ever possible to limit the number of licences consumed, so if you are trying to run two large display applications in Seamless mode - and they are sharing the session - then you will have to add together the memory required for each application and ensure that it doesn't exceed the max.
