Just as an example, we had a NT4 IIS static site running with 2800 concurrent users, and it maxed out just after that with a lot of performance tweaks. It ran stable and quick at about 1800 users. This is a Dual Pentium III 700 Mhz with 768 Mb memory and only static content coming from a striped parity raid. So if you really want 2000 concurrent users generating quite a lot of traffic I'd suspect you'd have to use load balancing.
