I think you are good on the memory but a couple of more CPU's for the SQL server won't hurt. You could always use the extra horse power.
It may also be a good idea to have the same on the ARS Server machine as well.. Why not - better now than later.. later would just add up costs - another project.. and it makes less sense..

We are also adding some infrastructure products like BEM/SIM and ADDM discovery. We want to fully implement CMDB as well. Question: management is asking me how the infrastructure would look( concentrating on the CMDB side ). We currently have about 4,000 incidents into Remedy, roughly 50 change items, and we are looking at managing about 3,000 CIs in the CMDB. So, I am looking for actual deployments or literature on how to size for the CMDB? I am looking at have a SQL server( possibly 2 cpus and 8 gigs of memory ) running WIN 2008 ( 64bit ), I am not concerned with the storage, because the DB files will be located on a SAN. Is the above SQL Server sufficient enough to handle the above numbers? Or should I consider bumping up the cpus and memory? I think I am ok, but wanted to make sure.
