List,

I am busy testing performance of an Oracle 8.1.6.1 database running on NT 4. The database is performing very poorly.

Harware : Dell, 4 CPU, 1,5 GB memory, raid 5 config. Setup by Dell engineers.
I suspect that this machine is not setup and tuned very well. I would like to test the harware and benchmark against another server.

I do not want to benchmark database resuts between the both servers yet. I would like to isolate the db and test just the O/S.

Is there a benchmark test that I could perform on 2x NT 4 servers to compare the results.
It must not be a simple test though.

Best Regards
