SharePoint 2007 storage and permissions limitation

Question

Our organization is using SharePoint 2007 as knowledge management system. We need to analyze the limitations of our SharePoint. We need to supply information about what is the maximum storage (GB) we can manage in a single site collection / web application without damaging performance / causing the site collection / web application to crash down. Also we need to supply information of how many unique permissions we can manage without damaging performance. Anyone knows how can I get this information ? I searched in Google but found only limitation of site collections in a web application but not storage for site collection / web application.

Thanks a lot!

I think the limit is 100GB for databases, although it's not a fixed limit, rather a guide.

Your limits are going to be determined by your hardware, configuration and number of users.

What is acceptable performance for you?
