Re: Best Oracle Platform??

Steve,

For an Oracle Database that small with only a few users, a Dual Pentium w/NT will probably be the best solution, not to mention the cheapest solution. Keep in mind future growth of your database though. I have dealt with Oracle 7.2 for NT on Dell Dual Pentium 100's with upwards of 100 users and 8Gigs with 128Mb RAM. It wasn't the fastest thing I've seen, but it got the job done.
