How can you estimate the number of users a server can support?

These are the specs that come to mind, CPU, RAM, Storage, Bandwith

 

My question is this, once you know what the point of a website is, whether it is to host videos, design something with an editor, ecommerce, if I ask a costumer "How many people do you expect to be on your site?"

Is that a fair question? Or is that arbitrary or even rhetorical like "Duh... the maximum count"

 

I want to know based on what is being accessed whether it is the photos displayed on page, character count, flash / javascript, whatever... how can I estimate?

 

This is for assigning VPS's depending on the clients requirement
