Bob,

When we started http://www.vamanet.com in 2001, we were running a
similar system.  It only took a couple of months (with relatively little
traffic) to figure out that this entry level machine couldn't handle
more than a few simultaneous requests.  The system would quickly just
come to a halt, and page delivery time became completely unacceptable.

Since then, we have been running a dedicated 270 with 1100 CPW and no
interactive processor.  I don't have any real numbers for you, but we
run between 50,000 and 100,000 hits per day, usually with no real
problems.
