I think I should consider changing my name from hpuxrac to
oracle_on_intel.

We are in the midst of a swapout of running oracle on hpux over to 5.1
OEL running on intel xeon quad core.

Ran a whole bunch of custom testing on different hardware ranging from
Sun's latest 8 core systems over to AMD and Itanium and Intel. Well
the intel quad core performance 64 bit running OEL 5.1 is pretty
remarkable.

Do you have something specific to backup the "Intel hardware sucks"
line?
