Now, I understand that tweaking the max connections might be better than me leaving the default setting although I didn't feel it was a concern at the moment, having had servers with the same configuration handle more traffic than the current 1 or 2 visitors before the lunch, telling myself I'd tweak it depending on the visits pattern later.

One of their justifications to adding more RAM was that I was using the default max connections setting (125 for MySQL and 150 for Apache) and that for handling those 150 simultaneous connections, I would need at least 3Gb of memory instead of the 1Gb I have at the moment.

1. Do I really need more RAM at the moment? // Update: I'd really like to understand why they say I'm using all my current RAM and how to justify the RAM bump they recommend.
2. How do they calculate that for 150 simultaneous connections I'd need 3Gb?
