Questions like this are inane and pointless.

The answer is almost always the following: Buy the biggest CPU and as 
much memory as you can afford or wish to spend. CPU power is rarely the 
limiting factor these days.

You kind of answered your own question anyways... I mean, you say you 
had 500 streams being pulled and the box wasn't taxed... and now you're 
asking about 100... am I missing something here?
