How many processors? How Much Memory? What kinda disks? Auth and
Accounting or just one?

There are so many factors, that its impossible to tell. I've
seen a pair of RadiusNT servers using MSSQL7 handle 100K, no problem.

Also, # of users is really meaningless to RADIUS. What really
matters is the number of ports and active callers. For example,
if you have 100 customers who all call at night, that will be
higher than having 50 customers that call during the day, and
50 that call at night.
