I would be using Amd64 as the server would have 8gigs of ram or more. The idea would be that the Oracle 10g would just be a slave server to a dedicated 10g server on linux and would act as a emergency backup to the real server and consolidate some rack space at the same time, and hopefully could do some lighter amount work such as read queries. Anyone gone down this path with 10g? I was thinking that since the linux emulation has been getting a fair bit of work lately it would be good to try and really utilize it. Cheers, Mike
