InnoDB -- yes make its buffer_pool ~70% of available RAM -- say 6GB on an 8GB machine. It holds both the data and index blocks.
MyISAM -- yes key_buffer is the main tunable -- make it perhaps 25% of available ram. It holds indexes only; Unix takes care of data blocks. Do not go over 4GB, even with a 64-bit build.
Query Cache -- Multiple cores tend to stumble over each other; better to turn OFF the QC unless you have a good use for it. If it is DEMAND or ON, still 100MB is a huge amount for it.
Intensive queries? Often they (and/or their indexes) can be tuned to run faster.
max_connections of 100 is plenty for most people. 1000 is possible on an 8GB machine, but they will be stumbling over each other.
