We have 16 GB of memory on Windows server 2008.
Now, also, before anyone goes off the deep end on this post, let me assure you that there is no science or engineering behind this. I just have staff come in saying "everything is slowing to a crawl", I notice the same, restart the server a la Dilbert, and things seem to pick up again. If I do it preemptively, I have fewer episodes when i am trying to deal with it in the middle of the day when getting everyone to stop using it is more of a problem. It may all be voodoo, and humans often see patterns where none exists. Still, I think it helps.
