How much can this serve handle?

I know my bottleneck is the IDE drives, but I would like to make sure the server is no longer sufferring from rhel kernel issues.

How many concurrent incoming smtp connections do you think this server can handle?

Dual Xeon 2.4
1 GB RAM
80 GB 7200 RPM IDE HDD 8 MB Cache - OS, MySQL, Apache, Exim
200 GB 7200 RPM IDE HDD 8 MB Cache - Maildir for exim.
RHEL 3.0 w Cpanel

Assume effect of Apache to be negligible and that each incoming mail also costs 10 mysql queries.

Thanks! How much can this serve handle?
