I'm monitoring 14,000 variables with a single installation of mrtg, running on a single-CPU 1.2 GHz Windows 2000 Server with 1 GB of RAM. I could do two or three times this many on this box. To get more, I'd add another CPU (or move it to a newer box) and maybe some more RAM.
In it's default mode, you'd have difficulty getting mrtg to monitor 1,000 variables. But if you use rrd instead of rateup and a good scheduler, you could do it easily. Check the mailing list archives, there's a lot of good information on large mrtg installations.
