FUDforum can and will use PostgreSQL row-level locking, however you need to realize that in situations where queries are very fast, row level can be a hinderence, since the locking overhead will exceed the benefit gained. In all but VERY large forums, row-level locking will actually result in a slight but noticeable performance decrease.

I don't want to commit to a particular number, generally MySQL seems to perform 30-70% faster then PostgreSQL when it comes to majority of FUDforum installation.

FUDforum needs to talk to MySQL server via PHP, so assuming you have mysql extension enabled all you need is MySQL server.
