I think Intel offers a great resource in their Test Drive Oracle on Intel program.
Intel is offering the ability to test drive Oracle 10g on Windows 2003 and
Red Hat Linux running on Itanium 2 processors. I can't think of a better way
for you to find out about the performance for your application which will
give you insight into the scalability of your application which can help you
decide at least about acquisition costs. That's absolute concrete data to
start.
HP has a TCO calculator for Oracle on HP with Linux as well that allows you
to gain some insight into how a Risc/Unix (specifically Sun) might benefit
from moving to the HP Proliant servers. It's obviously sponsored by a vendor
but taking the source with a grain of salt I think it's a useful tool.
