[TYPO3] Server - big enough (Athlon 1.2ghz)?

Once you do optimize for low memory, the server should work even with TYPO3.

- make everything cacheable in TYPO3,
- if that is not enough, put a proxy in front of the website to make it 
*really* fast. We're currently testing with apach2+mod-proxy as a 
frontend to apache1 mod_php using Cache Control headers.
- since memory is valuable for you, consider using a *very* little 
number of processes for TYPO3, or even lighttpd with 1 or 2 fastcgis.
- optimize MySQL and PHP caches for your needs. If your sites are not 
that big, MySQL will not be the bottleneck.

Cheers,
Michael

PS: The BE will be quite slow anyway, so disable the PHP cache for it 
and save memory!
