I think that if you're planning about 80 concurrent users, your machine is a bit too small cpu-wise. Maybe you should opt for a two-processor machine instead. We're running Oracle 7 on an H40 (867) with currently about 40 users and 256MB memory (although our databases are much larger), and the machine *crawls*. You'd probably be better off chosing the dual-cpu version if such a beastie is available in the G series.

Admittely, we're not running genuine Oracle, but use Straessle's PSK on top of it which eats a bit of mem, too.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Hope this helps,

Uwe.
