I've been running Conquest for several years on a dual Xeon 3GHz Win2003 server box with 2GB of ram and 2TB of RAID disk.
I'm almost out of disk space but have aquired a new box of similar spec but with 3TB of disk.
I've been running Conquest with the default dbase driver and response is generally good, except that startup or reinitialization is rather slow, as you would expect, with over 20 million images stored.
Since I now have the opportunity to start over with the new server, I thought I should ask for advice on database choices; is MySQL sufficiently fast and stable? Other choices?
