Oh, Try installing Varnish Cache though, it will definitely speed it and everything up, I guarantee it.

I have enabled Drupal caching but things are still sluggish. I am trying to determine what a reasonable hardware config would be to run Drupal. We currently run on a fairly standard LAMP stack and serve around 500k pages a month on a VM with 512MB of RAM.

Also are there some configuration changes I could make that would speed Drupal up, other than the standard stuff I have found on the web? Any insight or comments or ideas would be appreciated.
