Hi all,

I am interested in setting up a PC which will run Oracle db for self learning on new Oracle tools. I tried out a Windows 2000 , PIII 800 Mhz with 256 MB RAM and was not satisfied.

What commercially available system would you use (I'm not interested in building on my own) ? Most off the shelf systems have a 512 MB RAM limit, and now come with Win XP. Would you set up a server or just a regular PC ? I'm talking one may be 2 PCs connected together. Windows or Unix flavors ? I would prefer Windows. I hear the new Intel 845 chipset for P4 processors will take up to 3GB RAM (1.5 GB until the 1MB SIMMs are available).

Thanks,
