Hi,
Do you mean 50 thousands concurent transactions or connections ? There's a bit difference. I'm affraid, that only very sophisticated hardware and software configuration may provide sufficient throughput for such number of transactions per second. Another question is about meaning of "Oracle for webserver". Only Oracle Application/Web Server or database server also? However, if you think of NT, probably it should be Alpha. But in my opinion, 64-bit unix (DEC Unix on alpha, HP-UX 11.0 on pa-risc) would be the better choice.
