   Do I use a WordPress Database so that BBpress shares with WordPress or do I create a new BBpress Database. If new BBpress Database what version of MSQL is it?

   WordPress & bbPress can be made to use the same database with shared user tables. bbPress requires at least MySQL 4.0

   Yeah, I believe it's advisable to use the same database name for an integrated wordpress/bbpress install. bbPress does support using a database name different than an integrated wordpress install, but then your server would have to connect to two different databases (instead of reusing a single connection) when running bbPress. For that reason, I would advise using the same database name.
