You didn't specify what web server software you're using, but assuming Apache and 2.X something, look for the MPM section of your httpd.conf. It might be in the main file, or under extra/httpd-mpm.conf. The various options specify (among other things) how many servers (httpd processes) get run, max connections, etc... For best results, look at the Apache documentation for your version and review what the numbers mean.

Yup, tweak the settings that siteperf mentions. In terms of memory useage, your best bet is always just more memory. Nothing beats more memory for an easy fix to speed up a server. Also, if you're using a database driven site, i.e. a mysql backend, then you'll probably get far better performance increases by tweaking mysql and your website program that calls mysql. There's two other easy things I'd do on a site that's getting that much traffic. First, make sure apache is compressing or gzipping the output. That'll possibly cut bandwidth by 50% or more. Secondly pore over your HTML and get rid of whitespace. Typical web pages have 30% whitespace - that's a 30% savings on bandwidth and traffic for getting rid of spaces.

hello well your content are static or generate by mysql if are a static content use KeepAlive on else KeepAlive off
update
ServerLimit 812
MaxClients 812 clean apache logs every day 20k generate maybe 1GB all day this use many memory Best

Most of those numbers seem obscenely high. Timeout of 300? Minspareservers 75?(Keep in mind though, I'm no expert). I have a server with lots of websites on it, at least one (and probably more) that get as much traffic as yours does, and I have 0 problems. My concern is that you've over tweaked your apache settings. here's what I would do:
- put your apache settings back to the default install (i.e. out of the box). Apache out of the box should have little problem dealing with your load.
- Maybe tweak minspareservers up to 20 or something. Or just a bit higher than the default apache install.
- do some googling on stuff like 'configure mysql' or 'optimze mysql'. Unlike apache which IMO needs little optimizing out of the box, you can get a lot of mileage by tweaking mysql just a bit. I've done a bit of mysql tweaking by doing just as I've noted - reading on google - and seen some excellent results. in summary, I think you may have screwed up apache. Take apache back to what it is out of the box. Then spend some time tweaking mysql.
