    No, I'm not saying that a slower CPU won't do the job. I believe minimums
    provided by Microsoft and Oracle are in the 7 - 800 MHz range. However, from
    your original post I got the impression that you will have Oracle 9i and
    VS.NET running at the same time, and that ups the ante on hardware
    resources.
    As I said previously, the amount of memory, is *far* more important than an
    extra 200 - 300 MHz on your CPU.
    In my humble opinion, you can get away with a CPU in the 1 - 2 GHz range
    *if* you have adequate memory.
    If you get less than 512 Meg of memory, you'll have to be *very* patient.
