The easiest thing to do is look at the current box, and see how much RAM is
being used.
Most likely, that is how much you will be using on the new box.. maybe less
when cf 5 comes out:)
My server has 1 gig of ram, and so far the most I ever used , and I have
sql server on the same box along with CF, is 800mb. There is no harm in
having too much ram, but if you aren't going to use it, it is wasted money
that could be put to better use someplace else - like a faster internet
connection, or a back up generator:)
