It seems to be query related issue. The number of open tables is okay with the amount of ram. To identify the exact issue, you may want to enable slow query log. Installation of adodbcache may help you as well.

I'm doing 500 queries per second on average with a quad core on a dedicated mysql server. Do you have a dedicated for the sql? You could probably optimize your DB to handle the 150 per second just fine. I peak at like 800-1000 per second.
