If you're looking for a high-performance webserver mainly for static files, others than apache could be quite interesting for you, especially thttpd, mathopd and Zeus - see http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/benchmarks.html
also note that apache 2.0 is much better on the performance side than apache 1.3 (and that's why in kernel 2.6 there is no more khttpd feature!)
what is your target (user and/or pages per hour)?I guess that your celeron may be able to serve 1 millions of static pages every day with apache and the files cached in the ram, if you have good connectivity to the Internet and enough users willing to see them :-)
