Depends on how many clients that access the database.

I have mine at 512 MB but I will lower it and see how it affects
performance. I have 16 GB in my server.

Perform a vacuum analyze verbose and look at the last few lines. This
will tell you whether you need to increase max_fsm_*.
Consider lowering random_page_cost so it favoes indexex more often
than seq. scans.
But if you don't get a decent raid-controller your data will move slow
and tuning will only make a minor difference.
