Without some idea of the kind of application you intend to run, you won't get much feedback. I suspect that most MySQL databases are running on boxes with untuned kernels. Linux is pretty good out of the box for database apps. For large data sets, more RAM and faster disks are important. For complex queries, a fast processor becomes important too. RAM and processor are important for concurrent queries. How this all balances out for you is likely to depend on the specific application your running. It might be best to prototype the thing, then figure out where your bottlenecks are. You'll have to do that regardless of any generic advice you get. Tony - -- Anthony E.
