Personally I use Cacti.. had some bad memory experiences with munin. 
But they basically do the same thing.  RRD is a great way to see
trending and history (I even graph tuner usage, number of jobs in the
queue, etc).

My dedicated backend server is severely underpowered by today's
standards.  I've got 2GB of RAM and 4GB of swap on a dual core AMD
5000+.  Looking at it now, I think I inadvertently forgot to move the
memory over from the motherboard I just moved off of (hence, I'm at 2GB).

Granted, I don't use mytharchive.. I convert my DVD's to m4v's on a PC,
then move that m4v over to a Samba share  which is accessible via NFS by
my 4 dedicated frontend systems.
