Hello.

I am trying to find a suitable hardware configuration for hosting an Oracle server (probably oracle8). This server would host an instance of 6 gigs minimum, where most of the operatons would be "Select", lot of "group by", "order", etc. The inserts are not critical (done once a day, 100 megs of inserts a day, with 1 months history, thus the 6 gigs). Also, and the most important part, this instance must handle 30 users at the same time. (So i think a big RAM and CPU cache is needed).

So here is the question: NT server (bi-PII or quadri-PII, how much ram ?) or Unix station (Solaris, DEC, 32/64 bits) ? The requirments is that the machine doesn't have to be very expensive (something like 20.000$-30.000$).

Thanks in advance a lot...

Riad
