If Karl Arao has seen this post, I'm sure he will recommend you to check his 
blog article: Workload characterization using DBA_HIST tables and kSar
You can find it in: 
http://karlarao.wordpress.com/2010/01/31/workload-characterization-using-dba_hist-tables-and-ksar/

And also, he has written a couple of scripts to determine the system capacity 
which you can find in his shared Google Docs:
