optimize apache 2 in centos 5

I saw many people were talking about how to optimize apache and mysql here and also in other forums and blogs. I am currently hosting some sites and some IRCD processes (a tiny network)in a dedicated server with spec:

Quote:

Intel Dual Core 1.6GHz E1200
1GB RAM
160 HDD
10Mbits port

We got about 30,000 to 40,000 page views per day. I would like to ask people here about the opinion of apache and mysql optimization based on this server spec and current number of page view.

What does 'top' show?

Looks like a very quiet system to me. Are you actually having a performance issue; if so, what are the symptoms?

The time I run that top command, there was no issue. But before I noticed that it almost run out of memory.

If we put files to let people download, does it make the server overload?
