This is a pure question. How can we answer these questions from users?

* What value can I set to cache_memory_target when I can use 10 GB for the caches and max_connections = 100?
* How much RAM do I need to have for the caches when I set cache_memory_target = 1M?

The user tends to estimate memory to avoid OOM.
