A database server works best when it can use all of the resources in a computer. This is referring to microcomputers, however, a mainframe wouldn't have those types of limitation.

Just a matter of stepping up your OS to 64 bit, and loading up the RAM so MySQL / SQL server is happy. Granted its not cheap ( RAM, SSD drives in RAID 0 ), but I would rather spend big bucks on hardware, than to pay my hosting company for extra rack space.
