I use mine as a terminal server to some super cheap Raspberry PI machines that are basically just monitors running VNC software.

For good performance you need about 4 to 8GB per user. I don't have that many users personally to need 64GB, but if you have a bunch of kids having terminals is much cheaper than a real computer for each user, plus you only need to keep one computer updated.

You could easily afford a computer in each room that way.
