Is there an advantage to putting the database on a separate database server?

Asked by HungryGuy (16044points) May 13th, 2010

Is it better to have the web (Apache, PHP) server and database (MySQL) server on separate machines? Or will the network overhead and bottleneck negate any advantage to putting the database on its own server?
