I have been working with NT's and Solaris machines.

I recommend Solaris.

I am currently upgrading 7.3.4 to Oracle 8i. Basically it is to gain performance in some areas and to get a newer version.

If 8i is better or worse than 8, I cannot tell. Anyway, if nessesary, there are sql scripts included to downgrade the rdbms.

If it need more memory we just use some. All our >=14 sun's have 2 GB ram.

So far the test I've been doing, show better performance in 8i than 7.3.4. But I cannot tell if the test show right result (yet).
