Just heard this REAL story from a friend. It's no joke.

One prestigious consulting company is going to deliver an Oracle data warehousing system for a client. Here is the hardware configuration: Windows NT 4.0 running on quad pentium pro 200 896 MB RAM
About 50 GB Harddrive space

Guess how much memory they assigned for SGA: 18MB! Remember this machine is dedicated for this data warehouse. And they complained that Oracle on NT sucks!

The fact that the company treats its technical people as second class citizens pretty much predicted this consequence.
