Truthfully, the only way to really know is to test your application under a simulated load that is as close as possible to the actual load it will be under in production and on as close a machine as you can get to what you'll be using. The advantage of this is also that you can fine tune the settings to optimize the performance of your applications. The disadvantage is that, well, load testing is a pain in the you-know-what.

I checked mine, and my IIS instance is running at 45 meg, and my Apache 2 instance is a little bit less... Both are doing standard db queries to either mySQL or postGres DBs. Hope that helps.

This is a very tough question, because the memory footprint for each instance will depend upon what exactly that instance is doing. On my Windows development machine, an instance that isn't doing anything at all consumes about 40 MB, but an instance that's doing anything can consume significantly more memory (as it should).
