Robert,

somewhere 15 gb comes to 60%+ of your total 24Gb of memory, I think it is
comfortable value one..default installation of oracle takes 60-80% of total
memory available..

and if you are sure that your database can work well with present values
(i.e. 3gig and 500 mb or may be some plus increment to it..)  then how about
exploring times ten database..

thanks..subodh
