Yeah, parallel query is only available with the "bigger" versions of Oracle. But you're mistaken about the one processor bit. Parallel query does not have -anything- to do with the number of CPUs on a box.

Parallel query makes use of multi-threading. Whether those threads runs on a single processor or 20 processors do not change the functionality of parallel query. The only requirement is to have multithreading capability in the operating system, which Win95 does have (how well that is implemented is of course open to debate).
