Agreed, this is especially true when you are talking about a MySQL server with dual processors, as mentioned in the original post. Some OSs arguably handle dual processors much better than others, while others don't support them at all. Hardware can also be critical - dual processors are "old-hat" for Intel board manufacturers while AMD is still fairly new to the arena. Last fully-custom DB server I set-up for MySQL was a dual PIII 800s (on a Tyan board - easy to configure and rig to the case), 512Mb RAM and 30 gb hard-drive - works like a charm.
