I have a problem with a bigger table on mysql 4.0.16-log / debian linux

I played around with indexes, delete quick and such, but I just can't get it
to work. 
The following table holds >35mio rows and has >5mio inserts/replaces per
day. to clean it up I want to delete all rows older than X days.

I would be very happy if somebody could help me on this. I'm stuck. I worked
with tables of that size with 3.23.49-log and didn't have problems, although
I must say that the amount of inserts is very high in this case.

The server is a 2.5ghz pentium4, 1.5gb RAM, SCSI-RAID-disks and such
hardware, so performance should not be a problem. what variables in mysql should I
modify, has anybody experience with that and can
help?

thanks!
Richard
