	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
