How many virtual users can be generated on physical machine with minimal system requirements

Hi,

How many virtual users can be generated on physical machine with minimal system requirements, specified in LoadComplete 4 Documentation (Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz, Microsoft Windows Vista with Platform Update, 4GB of RAM, 1GB of disk space for installation...)? 

I need to run scenario with 250 concurrent heavy users, need to decide on equipment required.

Thanks.

      Thanks Alex,

      Any idea what would be the symptoms in situation when  hardware on which LoadComplete is running does not cope with the task?

      It is mentioned here https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/65527/  that simulating a large number of users may cause a system overload and potentially lead to invalid test results.

      The question is: how do you tell the difference between errors due to reaching critical load which server under test can handle and errors due to lack of resources for machine on which LoadComplete is running?

      Thanks
