eeepc, macbook, 350mhz pentium II...

I've run MySQL on lots of things :)

I generally feel like if you're trying to optimize MySQL for
performance, you're probably using the wrong database. I'm sure that
there are many differences of opinion on this front -- I know many people
use MySQL in production systems to serve lots and lots of hits -- but I
also know that it seems less likely to be the database of choice in that
situation.

personally, I've never run anything popular enough that database
performance was the bottleneck; bottlenecks have always been my own
code.
