I have no doubt that the setup that I had (2 1.4 Celeron's with 512MB both running mysql, dbmail and postfix, with mysql running a snort alert repository (and rule import data), website data) could have handled more load. Even with everything run off of a 10/100MBps hub. Would have liked to tried more of a load but do not have the user base. ;)
