StackExchange is pretty open with their hardware metrics.

The StackExchange performance site: https://stackexchange.com/performance

> RAM: 48GB

Per server or in total..? Either one is believable.

I don't think a single server can do its task in just 5 GiB (48 GiB/9)

It must be per server, adding RAM is really the quickest and cheapest way to improve performance.

See the tagline "statistics by server"
