Handily a certain other RDBMS vendor, one based in Redmond, had a front
page story in the UK computer press on how 64 bit RDBMS software will
make databases larger than 6GB go faster.

Not so fortunately the editorial in the same issue described this as
garbage, um sorry, that last bit should read 'irrelevant to the needs of
nearly all user organisations'

So there you are if your database is larger than 6GB you need to buy new
hardware and software now. Or perhaps not :(

P.S. You probably want RAC as well :(
