Well, I've passed 70-216 a while ago in the VMware 3.x era...
It the total # of virtual machines depends on your hardware (mainly memory) but I guess that's not the answer you are looking for. Theoretical max I don't know but I guess it was something around 125.
I've run tests with up to 8 virtual machines on old quad Pentium Xeon 700 or 900 w/ 4 Gigs and that still runs smooooth

I really don't know the limits I know it all depends on your hardware special memory and if you want best performance scsi. I have been running VMware GSX with around five servers on the host machine and just works great....Dual AMD 2.0 with 4GB Memory and 15000RPM SCSI in the other hand I really happy that we know have a VMWARE Forum great product.....

First of all, it depends on the HW. But with VMWare ESX 2.1.x you can run up to 90 Machines while max. 200 configured machines are possible.
