Question

I am creating a web application using Node.js, socket.io & express modules. and I would like to find out concerning peak loads on server. Every user make 5-7 request per second. Server: RAM 2GB CPU 2x2 GHz

How much connections can this server process? Is it necessary to use Web Workers?

What recommendations can give concerning high load or maybe you know some statistic information.
