Doing what ? Seriously I've seen 200+ machines run by one admin because there are no user abusable components involved (hardware or software) and cases like big multi-user servers running desktops, email, random user apps for several hundred users, all of whom do "clever" things on a regular basis that had three full time sysadmins. The ratio in my experience is heavily linked to users and what the user is permitted to modify (aka break).
