Tony, Finding out where an application "peaks out" is a complex question and depends on your code and the database etc.
Charlie Arehart spoke before our user group a few years back on the subject of load testing. I also believe he wrote an article on the subject in CFDJ though I couldn't locate it with a quick search. I've actually used one of the tools he spoke of that night by a company called OpenDemand and I believe they have a free web trial. There is also a free load tester from Microsoft and another one from a German company. If you can locate either that article or Charlie's powepoint it should answer most of the questions you might have. I know that I learned an awful lot about my application after I did some basic load testing.
