Oracle vs Sybase

Hi there. We're in the process of developing a trading system for our
company. The front end will be done with VB and/or VBA (Access VB).
Now, when it comes to a RDBMS, we have a choice of either Orcale or
Sybase. We've been offered both at more or less the same cost.
The system will be running on SCO Unix SMP on a Compaq Proliant 4500
with dual P133 processors and 128 MB of RAM. The system will be
getting live feeds from information vendors (Reuters.....). We expect
about 30-35 users to use this system.
Now, I have the feeling that Sybase is faster but Oracle is supposed
to be the standard. On both offers we are getting the Parallel Query
option to speed up the response.
Any of you out there went thru this excersice lately. I appreciate any comments or help.
Thanks.
