Sizing and bandwith

[tinypond]

Recently I have been put up a website a work that is an intranet site and built on asp pages which request user information for oracle then asp formats the request and displays it back to the user. I have been asked how many concurrent users this website can support? (How should I know?) It is windows server 2000 running IIS Compaq 500mz with 512 meg of memory. How would I go about benchmarking a sizing the capacity of my server? What should I look for in a server that we might purchase in the furture cpu, memory, processor(s) ...

Respectfully

To get an idea of how many users your site can support use a stress testing tool. M$ do something called a Web Application Stress Tool.
