How to Resize tempdb
When you are setting up a new SQL Server machine you need to determine how big you should make tempdb. To make sure you size tempdb appropriately you should monitor the tempdb space usage.

If tempdb never uses most of the tempdb space, then you might want to consider decreasing the size of tempdb.
