Enough would be my guess; the limiting factor would be the serial hardware. Note that ftp.cdrom.com is a PPro200 with either 256 or 512k of RAM, can accept 1500 network users, and it's limiting factor is network bandwidth. 4GB might be too small depending on how much diskspace usage per user you're going to allow.
