MySQL on Windows
Hello everybody,

I have been running Apache 1.3.31 on Windows for quite some time now, and I am happy with the results. Apache on Windows isnt as fast as under Unix(ish) OSes, but it is very stable.

I want to create a database system for my site now. The machine is old (Pentium 166MHz, 64MB RAM). Should I put MySQL on that machine itself, or set up a second system as a database server?

If I were to go with the second machine, the system would be a Pentium 233MHz, 160MB RAM. Should I load Linux on this second machine or Windows? Is MySQL really useable under Windows?

Thanks.
