How heavily do you load your boxes?

I know this is a really general question that has many variables that will affect the answer, but I am hoping to get a feel for how heavily you all are loading your cPanel boxes.

I have one that is a dual-core 3gig processor with 2 gigs of ram and an obscene amount of disk space that is seeing some load issues with 50 some domains on the box. Is this a "Doh!" ?

How many domains do you put on a well utilized box before you call it full?

Thanks..

We put 300 accounts on a AMD 64 3500 with 2 gigs ram and its ok, but it's not so much the number of customers/domains, its what they are doing to the machine.

You need to find out what is causing the load, 50 accounts on a box like that should be pretty much idling unless some kind of perl program is eating up the machine or lots of mysql work or something else intensive, but you would have to really look into everything.

Yeah, those were my thoughts too, but I wanted to do a reality check.. Thanks!
