How much can MySQL+PHP handle?

I am going to be making a php script that will be accessing data through MySQL.

Right now at the most maybe 20 users will be using it at one time. I know that this isn't going to be a problem.

My question is, in the future how much can MySQL handle?? What type of servers am I looking at if there are 500-1000 people accessing data at one time?

I am trying to prepare for the future, if MySQL isn't the way to go for the future, maybe I should use another database..

Any experience or ideas on the subject?

Thanks,
-Xanith
