I'm lucky. I've got a P3 with half a gig of ram, and a big raid with
hardware cache. With this setup there's so much headroom on the server
it comes down to network bandwidth. We've got 100Mbit switched, so even
NT clients can shift 7 or 8 Mb a second.

But then saying that, of the 100 or so users in the building there are
only ever 40-50 connected at once, and the server still doesn't get
beaten up.
