Its more to do with the amount of memmory than its speed. As MySQL will try and load as much data (tables) into memmory as posible the more the better. The next thing is disc speed. Simon

If your bottleneck is memory speed, you will see 100% CPU usage even if the CPU actually spend 99% of its time idle, waiting for data to come in. I'm not too up to date on the latest RAM technology, but I hear there's several types of DDR, the most expensive one being significantly faster. Or is it? Anyone care to share some insight on this? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
