 From my experience running Oracle 8 on a quad-processor PPRO machine I 
can say that in my opinion large databases need two things:

1) Large drive bandwidth.  The faster the drives the better.
2) Multiple processors. The more threads split across the CPUs the 
better.

Just another $0.02 from me. ;-)
