Well if you use Linux with at least 2.6.8 kernel and correct version of glibcs (Debian Sarge has the right one, Slackware has the wrong version as far as I heard) and JDK 1.5 and if you will have some 1-2 Gb of RAM on your computers it is possible without problems. If you want to go further you should take care about not using BeanShell in your test plan, about trying to make your thread group not to complicated and so on. And change Xms Xss values in jmeter startup script. 1500 threads is not a problem. It is possible to go further with some time spent on configuration and so on.
