The CPU requirements for OpenVPN are tied not to number of connections
but to bandwidth usage. So -- why is bandwidth not a problem? If
bandwidth is not a problem because you have a gigabit network and will
be sending only 100MB/sec over the VPN, you're going to be bottlenecked
on CPU. If bandwidth is not a problem because the 100 connected clients
are going to be doing nothing but SSH sessions with an occasional file
transfer (or pretty much anything else that'll fit into 10mbit/sec or
so), then any reasonably modern desktop should be fine.
