number of databases in sql server 2005

Hello,

If I have a database of 5 GB with only 20 tables in it, how many of
those can we put in how many database servers on a high end machine
(Dual Xeon 8 GB on windows 2003)?
It is to maka a quotation and an estimation of the cost.

TIA

The lowest of 32762 and (the available disk space/5GB).

If you mean the practical limit, before the machine suffocates under the
load, that's impossible to answer, without knowing the traffic per
database.
