Amount of memory depends on what you are doing.  You can look at the amount
of memory used by the NLMs you have loaded + the amount of disk space you 
have.  If you look in the SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION manual there is a chart on
page 417 (least in my book) to calculate memory used by your configuration.

We have a 650 mb drive that uses about 5 meg of server memory.  The server
has 10 meg total running monitor and pserver.  We will be upgrading memory
soon (probably drive as well)! 

BTW:  NW 386 v3.11 (250 user) on IBM Mod 80-20 (Core HD650)
