which Solaris 8 server to run Oracle8.1.7

We would like to replace our E3000 (EOL system). It will have Solaris 8 and
will basically be used to run Oracle 8.1.7 and access databases (about 22,000
queries per day at the max usage). There would be a Clarion EMC array attached
to it and will be accessed via fiber.
It would also have to have faster I/O for queries and some room for future
expansion.
How do we pick a server? Right now we've E450 and E3500 as potential
candidates. Are these 2 good narrow downs?
 Aside from cost, how does one compare to the other for our needs? Is E3500 an
overkill?
Are there any standard rules for servers to run Oracle8.1.7 and Solaris 8?
Which SUN Solaris 8 server runs Oracle8.1.7 best?
Are there any issues with E450 and/or E3500 when it comes to Oracle 8.1.7 and/or
Solaris 8?
Any help in how to approach this is appreciated.
