I'd upgrade the machine, as stated before .

i'd also suggest not using debian and using one of the BSDs tailored  
to web serving.  Not to trash debian - i love it - and there's not  
much of a difference on modern machines.  but if you're using  
something like that, i'd opt for something that is stripped down and  
profiled to  web content serving to squeeze every bit of juice out of  
it.

7years ago in college I did a dating site/party on a modperl apache2  
platform.  when 500 people tried using it at once, the machine died -  
and that was the only project running on that box.
