estimate table size and cache large table

I am considering cacheing a full large table in RAM to speed up performance
of complicated queries. Is there a simple way to estimate the size in bytes of
a more or less static table? This way I can set the right server parameters.

Also, how large a table have people cached in practice? Is it only limited by
RAM available on the machine?

Thanks
