Comments: Minimum PC H/W to run Oracle Developer 2000?

Hi Everbuddy--
I just came from a job doing admin for Oracle 7.3 on NT4.0, and some
design with Designer 2000, and found out what a resource hog NT4.0 is.
On my vacation (serious hackerness), I'd like to get familiar with Developer
2000 on my PC at home. It's a P133, 32MB, 2.5 Gig. I can get a trial copy
for either 3.1, Win 95, or Win NT from Oracle. Also, to cut down
overhead, I suppose I could run against a trial copy of Personal Oracle 7,
instead of the full blown database.
I wonder whether I should run NT, since it has considerable overhead of its
own, but on the other hand, NT doesn't crash all the time, like Win 3.1.
Has anyone had experience with the stability/performance of Dev. 2000 on
any of these platforms, and have any comments about minimum hardware
requirements?? I'd appreciate it.
thanks,
doug
