I think noone is going to say: "sure that's enough" ;-)
Everything depends on the processing you'll do, the design of the
application, the database design, the SQL you use.
If you use it to perform AI-type fuzzy probabilistic searches on a database
with hundreds of tables requiring temporary tables of several million rows,
you might consider bying such a machine for every user.
If they only have to lookup a code number, type in some values and update
that to a simple table, you could easily go to a thousand users and still
use a standard PC instead of the server you describe.
One thing is for sure, don't ask your hardware vendor for advice on this,
because then you'll need an even bigger machine. Same is true for the db
vendor.
