Good point. Right now our infrastructure consists of a single dell poweredge (3GHz Xeno, 2GB ram, 70 GB scsi raid), running FreeBSD. We can pretty much dedicate this box to serving Drupal (apache and mysql on the same box). We are using the engineering department's network, so I am not worried about running out of bandwidth.
The main limiting number with the old drupal.org server was the number of concurrent, active registered users. Other factors were the fact that due to a lot of content being added the caching was less effective than we thought (has been worked on) and that MySQL used quite a lot of memory (we only had 1G).
