We have two E450's (one is 2.6, one 2.5.1) running Oracle 7.3.4, and have never had a problem. Performance and reliability are great. I would definitely get the optional second power supply.

I have only second-hand knowledge of Oracle on NT. I am told it is not very stable or reliable.

Good luck!
