'Multi hundred Gig databases'? Best choice would be a separate mysql server with SCSI RAID, preferably on a 64bit CPU (like dual AMD Opteron) and OS, certainly. Considering the speed increase if you use the 64 bits version of mysql. But if we are talking about databases of a few gigs or less, that shit just gets loaded into RAM.

I think you may need to go reread some documentation.
