it'd be nice to seperate them but it's not necessary at this point.

I will tell you unequivocally that the best thing you can do is to separate the the DB and web servers.
Anything else you do will be a sub-optimal solution.

For Apache, that's probably something we'd set up, though we really don't have that much static content

I highly recommend it. Apache is very poor at releasing memory from third party processes (like PHP), and what happens is serving static content from the same process that serves dynamic content actually starts to slow down the dynamic content response.
There's lots of tutorials on the web about how to set it up. It's a very easy win for you.
