The question is very dependent on your application. Can you tell me a little more about how you use CFMX? Is is the install straight CF or is it CF on J2EE? Is the database on the same server? Is there anything else on this server(mail, ftp, etc) or is strictly CF only? I assume you meant GB not MB or ram, and in most cases I would think 2 GB would be sufficient, but once again, I don't know if your app works with particularly large data-sets, is extremely calculation intensive, etc. If you can describe your app(s) and your budget and I would be more than happy to send you a few suggestions.
