Hello,
I have installed Personal Edition 8i.xxx on a 750 Mhz, 32 MB memory,
10 Gig disk and it runs perfect and quick.
The PE from Oracle is a complete relational database. You can do everything with PE what you can do with a server side installed Oracle.
We had some problems with the debugger, but I do not know, if this is a problem of PE.
Hope that helps ?
