Easy_Coder, I like your suggestions and I think I will go with your suggestions.

I will use the old box as my web server and put my RAM in that machine, I'll take it to 1GB (not sure if I can, but I'll try it). Ideally, I would like to get another server for the Web Server, but that will not be for some months from now.

Then I will use the new server as the MySQL...I will go with a RAID 1 (mirror) on that box, since I don't have to worry about storage space (yet), and it will provide me with fault tolerance. I thinking 80GB will do just fine for now, I was hoping to use the 160GB but oh well!...I will upgrade when that time comes.

I don't have a Gigabit LAN but maybe I will look into that. I was hoping the Gigabit NIC was a nice addition. Once I see it perform I think I may even get another Gigabit NIC for the web server box to handle the traffic.

Thanks for your help, it starting to make sense and look clearer for me. Thanks.

If anyone has any more suggestions my ears are open. Thanks.
