My current settings are

max_connections = 32
shared_buffers = 100

But the settings picked automatically by the installation were

max_connections = 50
shared_buffers = 300

But I found this would not always start as I often have lots of applications
open (this is my laptop) and I had trouble running both 7.3 and 7.4beta5 at
the same time
