Tuning of Apache/Wordpress

Hi,

I am using a VPS 512M with Apache prefork and Wordpress as a CMS. I have installed W3 Total cache too. I noticed that my server' s RAM is always at around 340M-300M used. And sometimes, i have to reboot the server because it freezes. I am running a group buying site but I have only about 1500 visits/day. I haven't changed any config from the default. What tuning do you recommend I do to my:

1. Apache

2. Wordpress

3 W3 Total Cache ( I am not using Object cache and Database cache yet).

Thanks,

Youssef

What's the value of your apache max clients? Set it to around 20.

In W3 Total Cache, try to use Alternative PHP Cache instead of Disk. I see a great performance improvement after switch on my VPS.
