It all depends on what a BIG board is to you....

How many users in 15 minutes?

It also depends on the type of mods you add. and how big your database gets. Mysql loves ram the bigger it gets the more ram it loves (the more time its accessed)

The number of posts or members does not make a difference at all.

It is the number of concurrent users online and the average pagesize, and time it takes to execute queries that is most important.

I suggest you post at the Server configuration forum at vbulletin.com.

How many users do you have online at a time?1 GB of RAM would be good enough I guess but if you need more you can upgrade at that time.

How can you say that 1Gb RAM is enough, if you do not have any information yet to calculate this?

I really don't understand your replies.

I do not compute them well either.

I'd imagine with the information given so far, that 1GB of ram would probably load the site in a acceptable amount of time.

The simple answer is you won't know until it's been running a while and you see how much swap file gets used.

The general rule with RAM is - the more you can get, the better.
