How many NIC for a event photography viewing system, advantages of Quad Port (4-port) NICs

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I am going to be running the Photo Parata Event Photography software
(http://www.miltonstreet.com) at a large event. The software simply
hosts images on the Windows server and used the Apache server. The
images are 3K ~ 4K for the thumbnails and around 20K for the larger
images.

The server has 4 Gigs of ram, 15K RPM hard drives, and Quad Core Intel
Xeon processor, thus I am thinking my bottle neck is going to be the
network port.

How many viewing stations should be connected to one port of the
server?

Also, is there an advantage in the Dual or Quad port NIC's over simply
putting multiple single port NIC's in the server?
