Max,
I dont know APPSERV specifically, but having had a look at the site ....
WAMP and APPSERV are basically the same thing i.e. a delivery mechanism for Apache/PHP/MySQL.
If AppServ is like WAMP i.e. the apache and mysql services are not setup to start automatically but use a start/stop tool like wamp does, you could possibly have them both installed on the same machine.
You would not be able to run the apache and mysql from both system at the same time, but if you remember to stop AppServs services before starting WAMPs you may be able to get away with it.
wamp, by default, keeps its mysql databases in a folder under the mysql it installs, and everything is under the c:\wamp folder, so the 2 file areas should not effect each other.
You may even be able to run AppServ's mysql and Wamps Apache so you can still access your existing databases without a backup and restrore into the wamp mysql.
Of course all this depends upon your knowledge of how Apache,MySQL,PHP actually work.
In summary, there seems no good reason for using both systems. Can I suggest you backup your databases, install wamp, restore your databases to the wamp system and then remove appserv
