It depends on the CPU, the RAM, the bandwidth of your internet connection, the sockets capabilities of operating system. 1) CPU and RAM: A PII 300 CPU and 64M RAM is enough for your chat room. 2) Bandwidth: Bandwidth = (amount of chatter) X (data, sent to each chatter per second) For example, if you want to allow 150 people to chat in your chat room at a time, and suppose that the chat server sends 1KB data to each chatter per second. Then the bandwidth of your chat server should be at least 150X1=150KB/s. 3) Operating system: Windows NT/2000/XP can handle a lot more parallel sockets than windows 95/98. So if Chat Anywhere is running on Windows NT/2000/XP, the chatroom is able to allow more people inside it. For example, if the chat room runs on a windows 98 system, it could allow 100 people inside it. If it runs on NT/2000/XP, it could allow 400 people inside it.
