The more money you're willing to sink into this, the better performance you can get. A few options you can try: 1) Dedicate a second hard drive to the database files 2) Move from IDE disks to SCSI disks 3) Some form of RAID (preferably hardware) Regarding RAID, I believe 0+1 gives the best performance, but it requires 4 disks. RAID 5 and 0 also will give a performance boost, and require at least 3 and 2 disks, respectively. You can price out the various options and see at what point it breaks the bank for you.
