tried it--sol 2.7 for x86. couldn't even get the oracle installer to run. this was with 8.0.5. if you notice, the product is specifically called "oracle for sparc solaris, " not just any old solaris. just my $0.02. maybe someone else has gotten it to work.

as a side note, i've also found that solaris x86 has a very limited hardware compatibility list, at least compared to linux (a platform on which, as i'm sure you know, oracle has a fairly wide installed base). so it might be more headaches in general--not just with oracle--than it's worth.
