Help needed on server selection.

Hi, Hi everybody, I am planning to move my forums to vB so you will se a lot more of me here. I have a question regarding the hardware requirements of vB. My forum currently gets about 200.000 visits every month which generates anywhere between 2,5 and 3,5 million pageviews. The forum contains over 4 million messages. Could you give me the minimum server specs that are required to run a forum of this size? I will be using Ubuntu, Apache, Mysql5, PHP5, APC and sphinx. Is it advisable to have a seperate server for the database or do you think a medium sized server (i am looking at the one specified in the attachment) will do the job on its own? Is there any other advice you can give me to speed up vB?
