Simply try and see. No rule of numb.
I have an Oracle instance having 12G SGA and 800 connections. Oracle SGA+PGA size is about 14GB. The total memory for this box is 16GB.

According to those rule of numb, I am totally wrong. I am using 75% of physical memory for the SGA. But I am happy with this. (Yes, it is an OLTP system), so pga is relatively small.

No pagein/pageout/swapin/swapout, kernel cpu usage is below 8%.If I only use 35% of the total memory for sga, what is the use of the remaining physical memory?
