It also depends how image intensive your make your site layout.
For instance, Larry Niven's book The Ringworld Engineers is just under 600k worth of text, that's roughly ~15 second page load time over dial-up. Add a 1Meg banner and you're over a minute download for dial-up users (if you're hosting from a dial-up account, the upload time is waaay worse).
Also consider that for every connection you get, multiply that number by the size of the combined size of your webpage+graphics and subtract it from your available bandwidth.
Also consider that if you run a dynamically generated website (PHP or mod_perl) that you're gonna eat up available memory more quickly than static pages. Anything that circumvents your server cache is death to your server if you're running on minimal resources.
All that said, the setup you propose should work for a fairly large audience provided that you don't go over too heavy with the multimedia.
