Hi,

Is vBulletin able to work with eAccelerator and other caching options ?

Will i see some 10% increase in performance if i install them ?

Which caching options are recommended and what mysql/apache settings are recommended for the forum with 600.000 posts and 100 users online ?

Yes, PHP caches work with vBulletin. Performance gains will vary based on the site and server but I'd say that 10% is a conservative estimate (although keep in mind that PHP Caches only help with PHP, and not MySQL of file system bottlenecks).

I used to use eAccelerator but I recently switched to XCache. You can find an easy way to install it on your site (if you're running RHEL or CentOS) at the link below.

As to optimizing your server, you'll want to visit the Server Configuration (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14) forum. Make sure that you read the stickies in that section before posting.
