    IBM XSeries Server + Redhat for busy MySQL DB- Opinions anyone?

    We are upgrading from an overworked compaq linux box to possibly an
    IBM xSeries 445 server. Running RH/MySQL3.23 (soon 4.1). Anyone
    running one of these and is it any good?

    The DB is busy - about 300 (up to 700) concurrent connections serving
    a busy portal type site. IBM are trying to convince us to run the web
    server (apache), and java server on the same box (theyre separate now)
    - but we have our doubts that they can all sit together happily on the
    same machine with this level of load.
    Do many sites run MySQL and Apache on the same box, and is it
    recommended?

    Many Thanks!!
