     Total memory used = 
     System Global Area + Fixed Size + Variable Size + Database Buffers + Redo Buffers

     System global area can be changed by several variables, SHARED_POOL_SIZE, 
DB_BLOCK_SIZE, DB_BLOCK_BUFFER, LOG_BUFFER. PGA can be changed by LOG_FILES, DB_FILES and OPEN_LINKS.

     There are a lot of monitoring and tuning tools provided by the third parties such as Platinum and BMC. For Oracle, you can use utlbstat/utlestat, Server Manager Monitor, Enterprise Manager and other data dictionary views to measure and tune the Oracle.

     It depends on the memory allocated to Oracle. Anyway, it is not quite sufficient for 5-60 connections due to the number of transactions expected from my experience.

     For the performance and safety, it is better to do in this way. For the cost, it is certainly not a good way.
