exactly!
take that length of string, divide it by the number of keys on your controller keyboard and multiply it by the cigarette butts in your ashtray, and woila!

but seriously timo - id hate to even try and guess and then have you disappointed with the actual result.
too many factors to consider - ram/mobo/harddrive/fsb/ just to name a couple...

but i can tell you that my girlfriend used to own a celeron 800/512m pc133/40gig 7200 hd/cheap gigabyte mobo - and generally i could push it out to about 20 to 24 simultaneous stereo tracks, running realtime fx on say half of those tracks, and a waves c4 compressor running realtime over the entire mix. just an example for you to estimate from - im not even going to try and guess what performance your system will give you.
(btw my girlfriends celeron was a piece of shit - really unstable).

cheers
