Upgrades are application specific. You need to look at the logs for your current system and see if processor is maxing out of memory is swapping out to disk too much. 2GB RAM looks a bit small but that is irrelevant if your processor is at 100% all the time. You might also consider your disk access time. Faster disks might be a better buy if your processor and RAM look OK.

I'm willing to upgrade it a little bit (since it's handling a lot of requests) so I was wondering which single component I could upgrade to get the best possible return. This I suppose boils down to either more RAM or a better CPU. Currently the server is an old Pentium4 3GHz with 2gb of RAM, so if I have some money to spend on it, would I be better buying more RAM or a better CPU? In the second case (a better CPU), would Fuseki benefit more from a faster one (higher frequency) or one with more cores/threads (I assume Fuseki is a multi-threaded application)? Thank you all.
