Upgrade of server for popular gaming site -- need advice

[Archbob]

I currently have

AMD X2 3400
1 GB DDR RAM
3TB Bandwidthwidth

Right now at around 150,000 to maybe over 200,000 pageviews a day thanks to an influx of Korean traffic, the number of Apache connections is making my swf files extremely slow.


I may have to upgrade the 3TB bandwidth too at some point along the line.

Its the raw number of Apache connections that is the problem, my host says. The SQL isn't causing any issues.

What do you guys suggest?

How much with a Opteron server with 2GB RAM help me right now?

Is there anyway to optimize Apache so it can take more connections without slowing down the server?

I suggest more RAM and definitely a faster processor. The X2 3400 is no slouch, but at the same time, its several generations behind. Simply upgrading to a modern AMD or Intel processor should help you quite a bit.
