We're about to migrate to UBBT 6.2. We currently get 1500 postings/day, 400K page views/day, about 350K unique visitors/month. We'll be importing like 500K postings into the new software.
Our server is a dedicated Pentium III - 800 mhz with 512k memory.
1. Is that enough CPU power?
2. How much more memory might we need?
3. anything we need to know about in terms of optimization, mySQL set-up, etc, to prepare for the onslaught?
Also generally eager to hear from (or about) people with equal or greater traffic re: their experiences. Please note what hardware you're using and how many pageviews/hour you handle at peak loads.
many thanks!

I would say you need to at least add, at least, about one-thousand times the amount of memory you have now.

512mb is good.
If you can add more that better.
The big point with that type of traffic is going to can you add memory. If you can pop in more go for it.
The main thing is going to be sure you have mysql configured correctly to handle that traffic. Depending on your mysql version you may wish to visit the threads on here in the mysql forum on tuning mysql. This is going to be the single most important thing. If you pop in another 512MB great. But then you need to configure mysql to best use those resources to handle the busy traffic on your site.
