High server load, httpd, any suggestions?

Hey all,

Im getting very high server loads 24/7 on my VPS server. Around 50% CPU and 100% RAM usage

Specs are around minimum 400mghz cpu, 384mb ram, 20gb hdd.

Apache seems to be taking up tonnes of memory, the processes only seem to close after a minute or so per process...

I have no idea how apache works, so I do not know if anything can really be done to minimize its resource use. Here's a few screenshots of my resource using processes (3 pages worth):

Thanks in advance everyone!
