That depends on a lot of factors.

Wireless:  You have 10-15 mbps of bandwidth (as long as your server is
on wired ethernet) with 11g networking.  If you stream CD quality FLAC
files you will need 1mbps.  If you stream mp3, you will need .25mbps..
That would give you 10-15 squeezeboxes for FLAC (lossless) or 40-60
squeezeboxes for mp3.

Wired ethernet:  If you have gige on the slimserver, and all
squeezeboxes are wired, you should be able to get 300mbps out of the
server, that would mean you could have 300 squeezeboxes on one server. 
Streaming native content isn't really CPU intensive, but I don't know if
anyone's tried doing 300 at one time. :)
