If you mean 500 hits total per day HTML only(no cgi), a 386 with 16MB of
ram would do. We used to run a 386-40DX FreeBSD server with 16MB of ram,
it served nicely as a DNS and light web server, a few thousand hits per
day, mostly HTML. But even CGI wasnt bad as long as there werent more than
a couple at a time.
