[Oshaka]

Hello,

I have built a server off of newegg.com. I need it for expansion, to run both audiospy.net and mp3realm.org and other future websites.

The current server is a p4 2ghz OC to 2.2ghz 2gb memory and gets more sluggish as more visitors join.

The site is about 5gb of innodb, 1gb of myisam and a few other small tables for statistics and site warnings.

I have chosen a dual opteron for this, I have read that opterons handle large innodb tables in MySQL better than dual xeons do.

Here is the link to the new build

Please give your critism


Thank you,


Josh Trier.

I'd get Hitachi drive instead of WD, they seem to fail a bit less often (though your never know).
Also, if you can afford it, get more memory. InnoDB really likes it, if you manage to put all of it in buffer pool, most likely you'll get better speed on single CPU comparing to dual CPU with only 1 gig buffer pool.

I actually never had a problem with western digitals SE's, haven't tried RE's yet.

Yes I will get more memory as needed, trying to keep it minimum for now.

In going with a dual opteron setup, I'd reccomend a serious hardware raid controller or two. You can get a great performance increase if you have a seperate raid array for the mysql/var partition then the primary OS. Your main bottleneck here will be the disk I/O & ram. You can always add more ram, but I'd committ to a better hard disk infrastructure to begin with.
