David - I don't see where anyone has posted a reply to your question, so I'll try to at least give you some feedback. Will both machines be running Unix? My gut feeling is that the HP can support many more users because it will have better I/O. For databases, I/O is a rather critical performance issue. The other thing to consider is whether either machine will ever be upgraded to unlimited Oracle licensing. In that case, the 2-cpu system would have 1/3 the license fee.

Hi everybody
We were have some Oracle licensing Issues They have just changed their Minimum licenses from 10/cpu to 25/cpu

I was debating whether or not my HP 6-way 220 mhz machine would be faster than a 2-way intel 2.4 XEON machine

Any ideas anybody?
