Judging by your setup I believe you should start using a profiler, and
optimize your code a bit or take a better look at why your machines
perform poorly.
I run a site that has around 250k hits/day and it's on one box
(Core2Quad 8800 8GB RAM) with the db on the same machine + .
It runs on average 75% idle. Only thing that puts it under heavy load
is the cronjobs that are running.
Don't know how far you've optimized everything, like ppl say, use an
opcode cacher(APC in my experience is the most stable) and do other
things like gzip, fix your keepalives, use cdn, etags,....
In cake, also don't do any find('all'), always specify the fields you
need, don't use recursion if you don't have to, cache large sets of
unchangeable data in memcache.
Use a profiler(I use XDebug), every ms you can optimize will lower the
load.

I agree that cakephp isn't the fastest framework around, but it isn't
that slow!
