Obviously the faster the better, but 60,000 page views a day is nothing. I
run a dual P2 450, Raid 5 HD array with 512 megs of RAM, which is a pretty
sizable server (nothing massive) and I get about 45,000 "hits" a day and
the CPU PEAKS at about 2-3%.
PHP/MySQL are pretty scalable. You have more CPU to worry about through
PHP then MySQL unless you have some wild data, I'm sure you'll be fine.
