1. well depending on how you configure it and how big your database file is with oracle id say you can make it work reasonably well to a screeming fast unit all by configuration but see if you can find a bigger size and faster speed hard drive 300 gigs and 7200 rmp if you can afford it
2. 8400M GS is not a very good card for gaming, but it will run most recent games at low or medium detail at 1024x768 or lower resolutions. 8600M GT (or a GS) would be better. As for the Oracle DB, yes it will work smoothly since you have plenty of RAM.
3. I got a free laptop from this site, I highly recommend it!
