Help tunning MySQL 5.5 (query_cache_size, table_cache, ...)

Good morning,

I've a MySQL server (Ubuntu 64bits, 2 cores, 4gb ram) with about 90 databases, 1700 MyISAM tables and 1100 InnoDB tables. I haven't deep acknowledgement of MySQL and their configuration parameters and I'd like to ask for some help about tuning these parameters and performance tips.

I tried executing MySQL Tunner (v 1.2) tool but I don't know how to interpret the values. It recommends me to change this parameters::
- query_cache_size (> 32M)
- join_buffer_size (> 512.0K, or always use indexes with joins)
- table_cache (> 200)
- innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 791M)

I tried updating their values to a higher number but the problem persist, and I don't know which values are the recommendable.

The full output is this:
-------- General Statistics --------------------------------------------------
[--] Skipped version check for MySQLTuner script
[OK] Currently running supported MySQL version 5.5.28-0ubuntu0.12.04.3-log
[OK] Operating on 64-bit architecture

-------- Storage Engine Statistics -------------------------------------------
[--] Status: +Archive -BDB -Federated +InnoDB -ISAM -NDBCluster 
[--] Data in MyISAM tables: 911M (Tables: 1656)
[--] Data in InnoDB tables: 791M (Tables: 1105)
[--] Data in PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA tables: 0B (Tables: 17)
[--] Data in MEMORY tables: 497K (Tables: 7)
[!!] Total fragmented tables: 143

-------- Security Recommendations -------------------------------------------
[OK] All database users have passwords assigned

-------- Performance Metrics -------------------------------------------------
[--] Up for: 24d 13h 37m 52s (282M q [132.975 qps], 6M conn, TX: 1509B, RX: 54B)
[--] Reads / Writes: 7% / 93%
[--] Total buffers: 144.0M global + 3.1M per thread (160 max threads)
[OK] Maximum possible memory usage: 634.0M (16% of installed RAM)
[OK] Slow queries: 0% (2M/282M)
[OK] Highest usage of available connections: 75% (121/160)
[OK] Key buffer size / total MyISAM indexes: 16.0M/495.3M
[OK] Key buffer hit rate: 99.3% (15B cached / 103M reads)
[OK] Query cache efficiency: 90.0% (198M cached / 220M selects)
[!!] Query cache prunes per day: 163815
[OK] Sorts requiring temporary tables: 0% (1K temp sorts / 2M sorts)
[!!] Joins performed without indexes: 32714
[OK] Temporary tables created on disk: 8% (807K on disk / 8M total)
[OK] Thread cache hit rate: 98% (71K created / 6M connections)
[!!] Table cache hit rate: 0% (200 open / 525K opened)
[OK] Open file limit used: 26% (268/1K)
[OK] Table locks acquired immediately: 99% (300M immediate / 300M locks)
[!!] InnoDB data size / buffer pool: 791.9M/64.0M

-------- Recommendations -----------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
Increase table_cache gradually to avoid file descriptor limits
Variables to adjust:
query_cache_size (> 32M)
join_buffer_size (> 512.0K, or always use indexes with joins)
table_cache (> 200)
innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 791M)
