Resource limit/performance questions

I'm working on a php/mysql ap, which looks as though it will be dealing with an average of 160,000 rows of short text entries = 32 megs of drives space Anybody have ideas about what if any limits I might hit? And how I might be able to determine any limits at this point when we have only 2 weeks (.6 megs and 2600 rows) of what will be 2 years of data? I have full access to my linux server. I notice that when executing one set of statements for one page, it is now using in the 80 to 90% range of CPU states, and works for maybe 3 or 4 seconds to return the querys. I am at present doing this testing on a 550 mhz processor, but will be running the ap on a dual 500s. Am I getting totally out of hand in thinking I can do this?
