Hey All,

I'm about to put online a MySQL 4 database server on a dual Opteron boxen with 8G of RAM. The example my.cnf files do not seem to address this amount of hardware. What settings do you suggest for optimal use of that hardware?

The current server is a dual Xeon with 512M RAM. Here is the current MySQL 3 information:

What other information about the current database sytem would help in determining what settings to use?

Thank you very much in advance and have a great day!!
