• +1 to bench-marking, hard to tell what is what without knowing your basic daily load. I would recommend using PerMon or a similar tool to perhaps tally up some stats for a week. You could also look at some DMV to determine the number of reads your servers had logged since the last service restart and compare them to a "known" busy server (to get an idea).
