methinks you have other troubles. i've been running MySQL on K6II-266 for a long time and its been running fine serving up several databases with multiple users. 512MB of RAM currently but it had only 128 until recently. Its running Linux (RedHat 7.2). I recently switched to 4.03, but it had been running 3.23.nn for quite some time with no difficulties. I recently upgraded the machine to a K6II-500. I also have another machine running a Duron 1GHz along with DNS and Sendmail its also working quite nicely.
