How many threads can be made in an Applet

I want to create as many Threads as possible but I want to know is
there any limit to Maximum number of threads possible.

Say a system has 512 MB RAM.

Each thread is taking 10 KB

Can I create 512000/10 = 51200 Threads on that Machine utilizing all
RAM.

And if the Threads are at Sleep() can I increase the number till the
Active threads take up 512 MB RAM.

And say a Computer is 2.0 Ghz

My thread takes 10 CPU Cycles So I can make 2* 10^8 Threads Max.

Is there any other restriction other than Memory and Ghz?

Bye
Sanny

>I want to create as many Threads as possible ..

Why?

Try and answer that question as the end to the sentence.
"I want to offer the end user.."
