That honestly doesn't sound like a lot of work to me.   We have 
customers on equipment with far lower spec than that run a fairly 
consistent 10Mbps+ of traffic.

Perhaps you'll want to increase your Apache's MaxClients, but... maybe 
I'm misunderstanding here but this doesn't sound like much to be 
concerned with.
