Another thought is depending on usage, size, etc, mysql loves memory.  you
can tweak your my.cnf file to have extra caching, extra allocated memory,
etc to speed up database queries, etc.  Also, given enough memory, mysql
will try to run everything from ram.  that is in addition to disk caching
linux will provide.  however, most of the memory will sit unused on the
machine, most people tend to use 1-2GB of ram for their higher end
machines... unless they are not "myth-only" boxes.
