How many people will be playing minecraft at once?

I have a minecraft server on my N36L with 8GB RAM. It works fine for me
and the kids, but would probably not be able to cope with a whole heap
of users on it.

I added an internal disk in the optical bay and an external 8-bay
enclosure and mini-PCI express bringing it to 13 disks in total
attached. Fun times :)
