  • It's hard to say what you should do here. The hardware is somewhat irrelevant.

    Are backups being run? Log backups? Reindexing? What's set up on the server. There isn't a short list of best practices that I could give you.

    Here's an older guide that should give you some ideas:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966504.aspx

  • Performance aside you should seriously consider moving on to a supported version of the OS.
