Definitely Load Test and / or Stress Test. Load Testing simulates real world use. Stress Testing bangs the server all at once.

I like to use Web Performance Trainer ( www.webperformanceinc.com ) because it is really easy to use. There are so many variables to be able to say X Processor with Y RAM can support Z Users.
