Is this Dedicated Server good enough to Run MySQL on Linux Ubuntu? I have a web application that runs simple logic. Most of the SQL procedures that I have
only do simple selects, some simple join table and some simple inserts. I want to get
a dedicated server for My Database, I found one but I didn't get it yet. I want to get
some of your opinion on this machine before paying for it. I know I can benchmark it
but only after I own it. So any idea if this one is enough for 5000 users per day doing
simple reads and simple insertion into MySQL with InnoDB Engine ?


Core i5 Quad Core i5-2400 3.10 GHz 
16 GB DDR3-1333 UDIMM 
250 GB SATA HDD (7200 RPM) 
100 Mbps Uplink Port Speed 
Ubuntu 10.04 - 64 Bit
It's hard to know / to figure out:

Even some simple reads, could be IO hungry.
And the amount of users doesn't tell us how many request ( read / write).

Without more data, it hard to tell, but that seem to be a good server. I believe that it'll be good enough, but that's just a opinion.
