16 GB should be enough for your site, I think. If you put Apache and MySQL onto two different nodes, then your setup should be quite comfortable for the future as well. (Our production servers for CDS and INSPIRE actually use 16 GB as well, for 1M of records.) BTW, Solr is a nice package, no need to be so nervous :). And we are looking into supporting also Xapian and Sphinx. The goal is to create a generic-enough API bridge so that every Invenio installation can select to use either Invenio native indexer, or Solr, or Xapian, or Sphinx, for any particular index or ranking method.
