RE: Oracle issue with Ultrasparc CPU's

We have just gone from a Sun 6900 to a Sun 1280, from 8 CPU's to 4 CPU's with 
1.5 (versus 1) Ghz processing power .  They are called Ultrasparcs.  We are 
running both Oracle 8.1.7 and Oracle 10.  Performance has degraded and it looks 
to me that the bottlenecks are I/O.  However, I am hearing a rumour that Oracle 
8.1.7 does not take advantage of the Ultrasparcs.  
   
  Has anyone dealt with this issue and where is it documented?
   
  Thanks,
  Paula
