Kelly, There was a case study published on upgrade and some statistics. https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll?func=ll&objaction=overview&objid=27439570
If you scale your servers somewhere between the minimum requirements and the beefy hardware used by KIT in the study you'll likely be fine with 3 servers. I know budget is an issue but you may consider looking at getting an audit in the next 12-18 months with 40k pages there can be configurations or inter-linkages that will drag your performance even with new hardware.
