The DSC-N2 has a maximum resolution of 3264 x 2448.
Fantastic print quality is 300 DPI. That's Dots Per Inch, where 1 dot = 1 pixel.
So if you do the math, you get a print size of
3264 pixels / 300 dpi = 10.9 inch
2448 pixels / 300 dpi = 8.2 inch
Round it off to 8x10 inches. But I can guarantee you that even a 12x16 print will look fantastic. You generally don't look at framed prints with a magnifying glass - you view them from a small distance, so you don't really NEED 300 dpi.
Jeff's suggestion to use RAW for critical shots is good advice: it gives you more options in post-processing. But it doesnt change anything about the maths regarding maximum print size.

The maximum size print you could make without quality loss would be an 11x14 for your Sony DSC N2 10mp camera. This is true if you shot this in normal auto mode. If you were to shoot in RAW mode. You could make prints as large as 20x30. RAW image files would give printers more uncompressed photo information and the flexibility to crop or sharpen the image. If you do plan to go this big, prepare yourself before you take that picture. Make sure your camera is on a tripod and use the timer function to minimize camera shake. If this is a once in a life time picture, take a couple of shots using the Auto Bracketing mode. Take these shots in RAW mode and bring them to your local profesional photo lab. If you have done everything correctly you they just might be able to make a 30 x 40 " with a couple of adjustments.
