Re: Advice on Hardware requirements for an Oracle Database

For what you are talking I'd forget about Windows unless you have no UNIX experience in-house. What you are talking about could be run on a Sun Ultra 5 that you could purchase off eBay for something around $2,000. It would save you a lot of money and be far more stable.

Ultra 5 may be viewed by Sun as a client machine ... but I have supported quite a few instances larger than yours with an equal number of users on them without a problem.
