I'm not up on current hardware, so I can't say. But I know that the
people who are will want to know things like:


Web server:
* how many requests/second
* how large the average response is
* minimum and maximum response size
* other stuff they'll ask for

SQL server:
* requests/second
* amount of data
* sizes of tables
* other stuff they'll ask for


estimates are ok, but the accuracy of their suggestions will be
proportional to the accuracy of the data
