Estimating hardware requirements for a SQL Server 2005 installation

Is there any good online documentation describing rules of thumb for estimating and planning a SQL Server 2005 deployment in support of a Windows rich client/WCF services architecture?

TIA,

Ian
Well you do not want to hear that answer, but it depends.It′s like asking, How much gas will I need when I travel from NYC to Seattle. Well that depends on how much data / luggage will be transported, which transport device you use, how much data will be retrieved, how often you will query the database, how many users will access the database, etc. There are many parameters to consider.
