I believe you are talking of the oracle database server and not an application server :-) No application server should take that much resources. The requirements stated are for optimal functioning and NOT installation. Oracle is meant for large databases with many simultaneous users ... Except for speed, with a handful of users you may not face problems. Good enough for small time jobs, but will not perform to its potential when real heavy demands are placed upon it ... Believe me, oracle is a real resource gobbler ... some organisations have dedicated ser- vers for oracle database alone !
