Tom's Hardware did some benchmarking of MySQL 3.23.52 with the Opteron: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030422/opteron-17.html As did Ace's Hardware (3.23.49): http://www.aceshardware.com/read.jsp?id=55000261 In both cases, the 1.8 ghz Opteron beat out 2.8 ghz Xeons. I'd like to see some tests with the 64-bit version of MySQL, but I'd feel pretty confident moving to it for testing. > The sponsorship of multiple tablespaces will take all available time till > September 15th, 2003.

Coming from an Oracle background, the idea of a single tablespace is, well, disconcerting (though it's probably only psychological).
