Here was my original question:

The general consensus is that the machine is fine for Oracle except for
maybe the memory. I will be doubleing it to 512MB. For most
applications, Oracle seems to be IO bound, rather than CPU bound. Most
everyone also stressed that it is highly dependent on the structure of
the queries, and the tuning of the database, so having a good DBA around
is critical.
