I would think it would handle the load. At one time last year we had a dual
PIII 900, 1 Gb ram, Raid 5 and it handled internet access for over 3500
computers. During peak periods there would be over 350 active connections.
We also logged every place a user went. The cpu utilization was never over
50%. If ISA was the only app on the server it should handle the load very
well.
