Like Craig said, your description is pretty vague, so it's hard to say
what you need most to make your pgsql server run fast.

Generally, the order of things to do to make it fast are: Add memory,
add hard drives, add battery backed caching RAID controllers, add more
CPU horsepower.

But it depends largely on your usage patterns. So, what are you doing
with your db?
