I ran a forum using PHP and MySQL on a PII450 with 128M of RAM with no problems at all for a whole year before I transfered to a 'real' server.

I used Apache as my WWW server, with PHP enabled, and a nice FREE install of MySQL for the forums database.

You only need to go for multi-server environment when you are running either a HUGE site which has loads of content (like BBC.co.uk), or lots of sites.
