I have a website, and I want to host it on my own computer, but I'm wondering if it's good enough.

The website check`s if the user is logged in and then displays 15 items (title, description) from a mysql database and the rating (stored in another database) and the comments (another database) for each item. It also displays some stats (number of items, comments). I also have an image for each item.

My specs are: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.90 GHz

RAM memory: 4.00GB

Windows 7 64bit

So what do you think, how much visitors and items could it handle (at once or daily) ? My internet connection is good, around 7-10 mb upload and same download speed
