I am not sure how heavy the strains could be on the network. We are pretty
small, w/ uder 50 client machines in transistion from a peer-to-peer to a
client server situation. Our Oracle server is a seperate dual Xeon 500 w/
1MB of cache and a gig of RAM and there are only two of us working with the
oracle server in *any* way. I think the volume of requests it handles is
moderate at best.
MSOffice is probably is on our desktops the most while running queries.
Excel is often used with a plug-in to download data via modem, but that has
not been running everytime.
