We have an Oracle-based application that normally runs on a Solaris platform, and the recommended platform we quote perspective clients is :

Optimal Configuration
Sun Enterprise 5500

6 Ultra Sparc II 400mhz cpu's (or faster)

3 gb memory

1 x Sun A5200 disk arrays

(198 gb - 22 x 9gb spindles)

We now have a perspective client that desires to run this on a wintel platform.

Could anyone state what the equivalent CPU requirement for an Intel platform would be?

As in: How many (and what speed) Intel Xeon processors under Win 2000 would be equivalent to 6 Sparc2 processors running under Solaris here?

Thanks.
