You get what you pay for...

Gigs of RAM, fast controllers, SCSI et al all make life great (except the bank balance)...

As a base, I would never go below 256M for ANY 8.0+ database, and by definition, there will be a minimum number of disks you'll just to keep your database recoverable eg archives separate from datafiles, possibly mirrored etc etc...
