Fellow Oracle-lovers,

as I'm only a DBA for 2 months and my experienced collegues left me :-((((, I have the following question.

They (the people who earn a lot more than me) asked me to install 11 db's (4 with lots of data, needs to perform bulk statements, all the others just to test SQL-statements) on a new server that was purchased.
The question of the bosses is if this machine will be powerfull enough to have a good performance , but actually I've no idea.

The servers specifications: Unix with ULTRA SPARC 400 Mhz processor, 1 GB RAM and 4* 9 GB HD).
We'll use Oracle 8i Standard Edition.

If anyone has an idea (f.i. 400 Mhz Ultra Sparc should be as fast as a 1200 Mhz Intell (if you can compare them)), please let me know, as I'm desperate...
