start with a gob of RAM and a few procs and CF Enterprise. When things get slow, add more :)
Seriously though, what type of apps? How many potential users? etc... My opinion, spend the money on your DB server, make it big and chunky. Design your CF apps to make that DB work for its cold space in the server room. We've get about 8000 logins a day on a internal server that runs nearly 20 apps. A couple apps are heavy hit report tools. The web server kind of silently hums along at around 10% cpu use with 4 procs and 4GB of RAM. The DB server though works its arse off hitting 75% cpu use often, this is a 8 proc 16GB hunk of metal from fujitsu running slowaris.
