One of the amusing things about Oracle's XE 'free' database was that it was limited to a single core and 1Gb RAM. This made it perfect to run on the same box as asterisk. On a 4 core 4Gb machine you were pretty much certain that Asterisk was going to get 3 Cores and enough memory to itself, irrespective of what the DB users did :-) Tim.
