Oracle8i MTS on NT - any experience?

Just for background - the database server is an IBM NetFinity with 8 processors and 4GB of RAM. We are running the NT 4GT option to give us 3GB of application memory. At 100 users (around 250 connections) the processors are busy but not stressed. Total memory in use by the Oracle process hovers around the 2GB mark on PerfMon.

Best regards...Paul
