List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/win32/15196 Message-Id: <0f4b01c46e37$dc4b5e40$46e17143@dual600> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am running mySQL on a : Dual 2gig AMD (2 processors) under Windows 2000 with 2 gigs of memory Disk wise I am using a 7800rpm SATA (150mb/sec) drive+card (not on the OS drive) Can someone suggest things to change in mySQL setup to better utilize the 2gigs of memory and 2 processors... Also I am using : database service mysqld-nt, would it be better to use mysqld-nt-max or another type? database type myISAM, is this the fastest operating database? (im not using fulltext index) Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks, Craig
