hi,
Basicaly i use this rule about 15-20 user per processor, and 20 M of RAM for
each user, for the environement.
take care about your application needs for memory and processor. The best
way it's to try with a pannel of users.
I don't know your structure and budget, but it's sometimes better to had
many middle server with load balancing, has a big server !
hope this help
