We wouldn't be going to 2012 on these, I don't think. I took a look at things yesterday, and it's a little hard to judge because neither server currently even has 64Gb of RAM in it (one is as 16 and one is at 32 :angry: ) So ideally we'd bump the current servers to 64Gb and observe, but they're pretty old and I'm not sure we'd get a good snapshot of how they'd perform on new hardware and full memory.

The most likely scenario is for them to both be virtualized on the same fancy blade machine with 192Gb of RAM so they can both max out and we can have room for Windows and whatnot to run.

I took a look at a bunch of memory counters yesterday on the box with 32Gb of RAM, and PLE was pretty low (136.000), there were a lot of compilations compared to batches requested (~15%), so while they're not getting killed, they definitely need some help. Just probably not the ~7k per core kind of help.

Thanks to you both!
