Hi Ebeth (not an abbreviation I've come across before :-) )

Are you looking at the Oracle 8 "workgroup" version on NT Server, or just Personal Oracle 8 (which may be able to do a limited bit of serving, I haven't tried yet)? What size DB and how many users? What client side software?

Either way, I'd suggest 64 MB RAM upwards, 1 GB of disk _plus_ whatever you want your database size to be, and the fastest CPU you can get. I guess what I'm saying is, spend all your money.
