Yes, this information is gleaned from experience (why, yes, I have installed 12GB of RAM into an 8-CPU Sun E4500 myself :-), but also, yes, there are some good resources available. O'Reilly publishes a book called "System Performance Tuning", ISBN: 059600284X which is a decent read, although it is somewhat oriented towards classic Solaris, AIX, & other SysV-derived Unices more than BSD or Linux. Some of the online websites like Anandtech & Tom's Hardware used to have some excellent discussions of BIOS settings, memory configuration and timing, etc, although nowadays those sites are putting so many ads and intrusive Javascript/Flash-based annoyances in the way that their useful content is much harder to find or read than it used to be. (I've stopped going to both sites a few years ago, when the proportion of content to ads dropped below my acceptable signal-to-noise ratio...) -- -Chuck
