obviously this is completely insufficient information to work with. 8.1.5 has been desupported for quite some time, but even in the 8.1.5 era a server with 192 Mb Ram was considered a sick joke. 512 M is about the minimum.
Then no doubt you didn't do anything to set it up properly at all, so you must stil be using those 50k online redolog files. And you are still surprised Oracle accesses the disk continuously? What else would you have expected?
