[OpenAFS] File server memory requirements

Hi folks,

Although my OpenAFS file servers will probably never see more than a  
dozen simultaneous client connections, what would be a good amount of  
memory to give them? They currently each have only 1 GB of RAM, but I  
can give them a lot more than that if it would make a difference.  
Also, does an OpenAFS file server only really take advantage of extra  
memory if you configure a memory cache* for it?

Thanks,

Jaap
