Certainly I would second that; but I heard you can't upgrade oracle

We have replaced several (20+) UNIX/Oracle boxes with SQL Server boxes,
and
this is what we found...
Performance depends largely on how the OS is kept up. Many of the boxes
we
replaced had nearly full drives; the OS was struggling to find places to
put
the data.
This was neither an OS nor an Oracle problem but an upkeep problem
onsite.
Data simply was not being backed up and removed from the systems, and
temporary files were clogging up the drives. On other boxes where there
was
plenty room, performance was great.
Since you already have Oracle, simply upgrade the OS and Oracle. If
possible, a new box (more disk space) would be good, too...
