So you run XP on a 64MB 386, then, do you?
Come on - disk is cheap nowadays, and memory can be kept to a minumum,
depending on how you setup your database.
Then again - that requires some knowledge...
Oracle 8.0 will not run under XP (maybe even the opposite,
as quite a few system32 dll's are overwritten). Go for
8i (just as UNcertified, but at least it runs) or 9i,
which is not only certified, but also the current version
