all,

I am working on a budget proposal for next year to put in a MySQL cluster
but wanted to validate (or correct) a couple of assumptions:

1. do storage nodes benefit far more from additional RAM than they do from
faster CPUs/multiple cores?

2. do SQL nodes benefit more from faster CPUs/multiple cores?

basically, I am trying to find the best bang/buck configuration for each
server type and am assuming it's better to spend more $ on RAM for storage
nodes and CPU for SQL nodes - is this correct?

is anyone aware of any benchmarking that has been done with various
configurations?

any help appreciated...

thanks!
