Hi,

How much RAM do you think I'll need in a dedicated or virtual server to be able to run a JSP applications backed by a PostgreSQL server?

I know that JSP is memory consuming, so does that mean that 128 MB isn't enough?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure 128 would be way too little:(

1 JVM will usually run *around* 100MB (depending on what you load). That's just for the JVM. I'd go with _at least_ 256 and go with 512MB if you can (it's cheap, why not!).

If you run with 128MB, you are likely to get slow responses from the JVM and from Postgresql (since it'll have to work off swap sometimes).
