The only reason i'm moving from apache is that apache has started (well proberly did but i didnt notice) eating large amounts of ram, even when idle, as i type this there is 4 apache processes using 29mb each, now when there is a few people on my forum/site that goes up to around 12processes again all using 29mb which adds up to being quite a big chunck of my ram. (384mb just for apache). So i either want to get php working on a smaller httpd or maybe fix apache. I've tried limiting the number of servers it starts and how many it can go up to and changing how long the timeout is for the processes, but the ram usage has only come down slightly. Thanks again.
