Under what PC os? I imagine web serving on Linux or 
BSD is a heck of a lot faster than Win 2000 and support a 
lot more concurrent users I'd guess 4 or 5 times. Anyone 
have current figures on this?

Also, web serving on a PC is a RAM intensive task. 
How many gigabytes of RAM did you have on the PC? I've seen 
people run tests on PCs with 256MB and think they were 
pushing the system because the CPU would max out. 
Try it with 4 or 8 GB and see what happens.
