Hi I am looking for a FreeBSD 5.4 hardware/configuration solutions for a MySQL database server. My server is currently running FreeBSD 5.4 with a web/mail/database server on a Proliant DL380 G4 (dual Xeon 3.2, 2 GB ram), and the speed isn't fast enough. We have a pretty big database with allot of complex joins/indexes, so a dedicated database server seems like the next step (among with optimizing/normalizing the database). Proliant DL580 looks fair to my eyes (as I'm pretty happy with HP) But I have a few indecisions: 1. 2/4 CPU 2. Amount of ram (4 GB+) 3. And most important (AFAIK) - Storage configuration (RAID 5 / RAID 0+1 etc.) What would be the preferred solution? Thanks, Uzi P.S - Please CC me the replies as I'm not subscribed. Thanks.
