are 2 db's better than one?

I am making a simple web based game that is completely db driven.

My question(s) are:

 

1) while Mysql can easily handle my expected traffic (about 150 simultaneous users). Should I make two db\'s to lesson on load? One for player stats, info the other for game tables and change tables?

 

2) IF I should use to db\'s should I keep them on different servers to prevent server overload?

 

Note: I am running current versions of mysql and php and plan to have medium level hosting package from W3Freaks.

 

- other similar online games (mafia.org and projectrockstar.com) get really slow with over 200 users. I am concerned about mysql crashing from to many simultaneous requests.

 

Thanks for the tips.

I dont think ist necessary

 

DB is just a logical identifier to show the content u have under that.

 

IF I should use two db\'s should I keep them on different servers to prevent server overload?

 

The problem u might face in this case if one server goes off u will have a tough time........

 

I dont think there is a real need....
