SQL Server 2005 – Maximum RAM Allocation for Performance Tuning

performanceperformance-tuningsql-server-2005

I have MS SQL Server with different size of RAM.
So I would like to control the values which are set for the RAM.
Somewhere I read a 'rule' to calculate the maximum of RAM.

These SQL Server are only for DB's. At the server itself is nothing else running.
Only two remote session are possible.

How many RAM does the OS and the two remote session require?
