Oracle, in partnership with Compaq, have made available the Oracle System Sizer, which assists you in determining your hardware requirements based upon the needs of your application.
The description of this software is:
Using information that is readily available to the database administrator, the Oracle System Sizer produces a recommendation for a basic system configuration including the server model, the number of disks required, and the amount of memory required to run a database application. This simplifies a process that is normally complicated and eliminates the need for detailed knowledge of the database engine and its interactions with the hardware and the operating system. If you'd like more information about the Oracle System Sizer, read the documentation or the frequently asked questions.
