I won't give you definite answer as it does really depend, but give you a at least number.
With Java the JVM has a 1.5Gb ram limitation (unless using Sun boxes or 64 bit correct me if I am wrong). So I usually try and get 2Gb of ram minimum. This allows the JVM use its limit if needed and have stuff left over for normal OS and Database usage. The number I can give is that you can definitely handle a couple hundred simultaneous users on a server like that. To spec out anything more you need to benchmark the server with the actual application. I had a Dual 3.2Ghz Xeon 2Gb ram handle 1000-2000 simultaneous users for a Java application that was Memory intensive. It is pretty safe to say if you actually have a couple hundred simultaneous users you mostly likely have ten of thousand actual users. Of course there is no magic number but these are given as is and really should be benchmarked with the actual application.
