I'm happily scanning hundreds of IPs using a 2GHz 256MByte Arch Linux
Virtual Private Server. Depends on your requirements.

Do you need to run a lot of scans in parallel, or can a scan run lazily all
night?
Do you want to brute force / enumerate logins, or do you "just" run
discovery scans.
Etc etc...

Cheers,
Johannes
