With those specifications, I am quite certain:
Check out the replication feature to achieve failover, this should be a
standard setup.

For fast response times, you will need good design and (maybe) the
tuning techniques which are discussed here so often.

Advanced strategies for performance increase might include using the
MySQL Proxy and going for a read/write splitting between the replicated
machines, but I'm not sure whether a 2-machine setup will gain much.
