feedback sought on server hardware

Hi folks, I am posting for a co-worker who is having difficulty trying
to find fellow dbas in order to discuss performance as related to
hardware platforms. In a nutshell, the current db server (sun 670 running
sysbase) has ground to a halt, and the company wants to replace the
server and is seriously considering switching to Oracle (for reasons
I will leave out for brevity).
My co-worker would like to discuss with anyone out there running
a data-warehousing config. of at least 12GB, their performance/hardware
experiences (do to the fact that Oracle doesn't know who you are!!!)
The main concern seems to stem from a few QFHs (queries from hell) that
join a 60 million row table to a 14 million row table, and bring the poor
ol' sun to near setting.
We realize that there are many factors determining the performance
of a database application, and we are not looking for solutions, just
a discussion with any of those that are running a similar setup and
or could provide some valuable feedback.
Please respond to: cm_at_io.org
thanks!
