I use old Apache because of PHP docs say so (as far as I remember). PHP does do (lots of) DB operations but no transactions ( :) ) on MSSQL but the queries are optimized for good performance (and if no errors, pages loads 0.01 to 2 secs (there are heavy queries)). (It is a firm intranet site for logistic management.) Win32 is Windows Server 2003 with latest service packs and resources priorised to services. Total hourly hit count is about 7,000, the most downloads are .php (circa 90%) and the rest are images and Excel sheets. About 70% are LAN and 30% WAN requests (which means network load can not be an issue). The "iron" is a Dell server machine, Intel Xeon 3,06GHz, 2GB RAM and SATA hard drives (weekly defragmented).
