---- Moving to a dedicated server - but is it enough?

Hi,

I have this website and it is currently on a shared reseller server. The site gets about 50-60GB per month right now and about 1.4 million page views last month and traffic have steadily climbed monthly over the years by about 10-20% per month.

My website is an ad posting website with almost no graphics (except for advertisements and the logo). I am right now considering to moving to a dedicated server before my landlord, errr, hosting company kicks me out from the shared environment. :)

My question is do you think a Pentium 4 2.4Ghz with 1024MB RAM server will be able to handle the following traffic load? The figures below are projections of my site's traffic for next year. Right now, all are 1/4 the figures.

Page Views: 6 million per month
Hits: 25 million per month
Site Vistors: 300,000 per month
Average Page Size: 40 KB (including images)

All your inputs will be much appreciated.

Thank you.
