Eeik! Actually, as cheap as RAM is right now, throw in another 768MBs. You
can probably pick it up for <$200. It'll definitely help exponentially. (You
should never run a SQL Server w/less than 768MB/1GB of RAM. Memory is just
so cheap now, there's no excuse not to.)
Of course, make sure you've got all your indexes applied, run trace routes
on your queries to look for points of optimization, etc...
