Solaris/Oracle Sizing Question

I think this is a dumb question, but its for Management so bear with me.

My client has a client who has a 16 USparc-III domain on a Sun 12K with 20GB of RAM. They are running "Oracle" but I can't get any more information on that. (I am assuming that its a DB, probably 8i). The project manager wants a magic document that will say "for X CPUs you need Y GB of RAM". I reckon this doesn't exist. (Even though all the standard Sun Configs are 2GB/CPU, they don't seem to actually mention this as a minimum).

I have spent the last couple of hours trolling sun.com and oracle.com looking for an "Oracle on Sun" sizing calculator. Does such a beast exist and if so, can you please throw me a link? Note that this has to come from either Sun or Oracle. Management won't believe anything that isn't straight from the mouth a vendor (God help me).

Thanks in advance.
