What terminals are they & what software are they running?

The hardware would have enough power to run 3 of them.

terminals have not been purchased yet, will just be used for light browsing, maybe word docs and browser games, so looking for the cheapest option.

Well it still depends on the terminals.

If they support RDP, then Windows will be enough. If they are Citrix ICA clients, then you'll need Citrix server, something else may need different server software.
