Which part of MR? MR.com? MR Forums? MRLive.com? Each are run on separate servers separately iirc.

Now that you bring it up, it could be 3 of something, perhaps not the current Mac Mini's. Maybe in the future when octo-mini's come out.

Well I am sure that Macrumors runs on a load balancing Mysql servers.

I'd say that the MySQL server is at least on a separate, closed server, and the web server is shared through round-robin dns on the the servers, or, one of the servers is a test server, or one of the servers is a backup server.

5 servers.

2 for forums
1 for database
1 for www.macrumors.com (front page + articles)
1 for other (attachments, guides, other)

A combination of quad and 8 core.

37 million page views the past month.

We do cheat a little and move some stuff (images) off to a content delivery network on busy days like keynotes and iphone launches.
