Subject: [dba-Tech] 64 bit MYSql on 64 bit linux

Is anyone using 64 bit database / OS software?  My databases are so large
that having 2 mb memory constraints are killing me (gut feeling here).  But
once I start looking at x64 versions of Windows Server and in particular x64
versions of SQL Server the prices skyrocket.  I will be paying more for the
licenses for those two things (for EACH processor chip) than I will for the
entire machine hardware, and it is pretty heavy duty hardware.

Thus I need to at least examine Linux / MySQL assuming that I can get 64 bit
versions.
