I too run 64bit FreeBSD 7.2. However in my primary use case, anything
short of 20GB of RAM makes the application very unresponsive when many
customers are online. We usually don't have more than about 45 to 50
connections simultaneously. My general-use Pg server has 4GB and that
is more than adequate for the miscellaneous uses of blogs, ad servers,
and drupal installations.
