If it's the "critical server", you'd want to use a RAID1 for the disk so
your server and data survives a harddisk crash.

That's rather low. I suppose, you may safely say 200Mb here (check that
you don't run into OS limits, they might need raising). You may also
want to increase work_mem, but it depends on what the DB does, how many
concurrent connections you have etc. pp. maintenance_work_mem may safely
be set rather high - it speeds up vacuum etc. and is only used during
such operations. Also look for effective_cache_size and max_fsm_pages.
BTW: What version are you going to use?
Tino.
