Assuming the traffic is spread out somewhat evenly throughout the day and
there aren't a lot of other CPU-intensive processes running on the server
(like hundreds of people accessing large IMAP folders) the RaQ4 should
handle that fine.  Of course it makes a big difference whether they're
static HTML pages or dynamic database-driven pages using inefficient code to
pull data from large unindexed tables.  And it depends on how much RAM you
have.  FYI, I haven't had a problem serving up 10,000 PHP pages per hour,
calling several optimized MySQL queries per page.  And I had a client last
year who was pushing 8 - 10 GB of web traffic per day on a RaQ4 (all static
HTML, largely graphical).

HTH,
