hi all!

i am currently working on a community projekt
the DB is a mySQL DB but i am not sure which engine to use
i know that innoDB supports foreign keys which i really want i order to
keep the data consistent since there will be a lots of insert, delete
and update activity with forums and guestbooks and new users and so on
and i know i can have different table types in the same DB

but from what i've learned myISAM is the fastest
is this true

second, i have followed some discussions here about foreign keys
but i still have nog managed to create foreign keys

i have a table users and another userTypes where

tblUsers have columns
userID, usertypeID, username, password...

and tblUserType
userTypeID, userType

so i want userTypeID in tblUsers to be a foregn key referencing the
userTypeID col in userTypes
both tables are myISAM
userID is indexed and primary key in tblUsers
userTypeID is indexed and primary key in tblUserType
userTypeID in both tables are int(10)

what is wrong?
my OS is win XP pro and i have mySQL 4.1 (not really sure exact version
since i cannot reach the DB from where i am right now)

thanks in advance
