Look into tuning Oracle; Oracle is a very powerful beast but needs a lot of attention too. If the D series was running slow with 40-50 users, and increasing the power did not make any difference, the logical explanation would be to tune the database. If the database takes forever to find info, because it needs tuning, it will still be a problem even if you get 12 processors.
With the configuration you mentioned above on the HP, the only things you should check is if your memory buffer is tuned and make sure that you have no bottlenecks in the disk I/O (and of course that you have plenty of memory)
