If the content is heavy, and requires a ton of server processing to deliver, then you're better off with 2-4 servers.

It all depends on the actual server processing needed to deliver the content to properly answer the question.
didn't see your answer, more or less what I was thinking, maybe keeping blocks of 250-300 accounts per server for a start and then see how it works and adjust on the go, I just didn't know if there's a strict limit for accounts per box
