you have to know/understand how large your database, and its active set
will be, and how many queries you need to run concurrently/per-second.

once you have this information - you can establish some minimums.

a) Amount of data
b) Type of data (text (books), numeric (business data), real (scientific data), ...)
c) Relationship between data
d) Type of queries (OLTP/OLAP//Graph/... or Read vs Write or...)

Too much to answer in a mail. Check docs and manual
