Server planning for Nagios install

[Eric Michaelis]

I apologize in advance if this is a well-worn question, but I've spent a 
day searching Google, the FAQs, the mailing list archives, and every 
book I can find on Nagios. I'm trying to answer a simple question: are 
there any guidelines for sizing the server that Nagios will be running on?

I realize that each installation will be different based on the number 
of hosts/services that will be monitored, but I'm looking for something 
basic--something along the lines of "a base system with 512MB of RAM and 
10G disk space is a good starting point for monitoring X hosts running Y 
services, with a total of X*Y = Z services. Then, assume you need 
another N GB of ram for every M services you add."

Can anyone point me towards any information on planning for the actual 
Nagios server? ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Eric
