Oracle on NT: DEC Alpha or Compaq Proliant???

Anybody got any opinions/war stories on running Oracle Workgroup
on a Proliant 1500 133MHz vs. Alpha 2000 275MHz under NTAS 3.51?



Our database is expected to be about 3.5 GB, used 90% for queries,
supporting 10-20 users.



The quotes I'm getting show the Alpha about $7,500 more than the Proliant,
with similar configurations. Is the price worth it? My feeling is that
since my application will be I/O bound, I'd be better off spending the $$
on more memory or faster disks.  Any comments??



TIA...
