In regard to my question above, does anyone currently run Oracle 10g w/ Service Pack 2? Does it work? did you try to install it w/ SP2 on your winxp machine. if so, CDs or Hard disk? download or Oracle provided CDs, any information on Oracle w/ SP2 would be greatly appriated.

Anything like more failure stories, so i can confirm this, or success stories so I can start search around more. and if you were successful, perhaps you can tell me you CPU setup.

Again, thanks to everyone who reads this, and who contributes.
