Yes, this information is gleaned from experience (why, yes, I have
installed 12GB of RAM into an 8-CPU Sun E4500 myself :-), but also,
yes, there are some good resources available.
O'Reilly publishes a book called "System Performance Tuning", ISBN:
059600284X which is a decent read, although it is somewhat oriented
towards classic Solaris, AIX, & other SysV-derived Unices more than
BSD or Linux.
Some of the online websites like Anandtech & Tom's Hardware used to
have some excellent discussions of BIOS settings, memory
configuration and timing, etc, although nowadays those sites are
putting so many ads and intrusive Javascript/Flash-based annoyances
in the way that their useful content is much harder to find or read
than it used to be. (I've stopped going to both sites a few years
ago, when the proportion of content to ads dropped below my
acceptable signal-to-noise ratio...)
