You don't need so many Apache processes! if you do, you are doing something seriously wrong.
A single Apache process with PHP or Perl and a database driver loaded will consume say 20MB of RAM. Multiply that by 100 gives you... 2GB. If you have MaxClients = 1024... do you have 20GB of RAM? If you must serve THAT many clients, I'm sure that much of the content is static. So put Lighty (lighttpd) on port 80, and Apache for the dynamic content on a high port like 8080.
