  • Not enough info provided for us to be able to say.  (1) Is SQL indicating that it's short of memory?  (2) How large are  your databases? (3) How many simultaneous users do you typically have? (4) etc.

  • RAM doesn't look too short there, but personally I'd add more if you could.  RAM is the cheapest overall performance boost you can get.  And bump up tempdb size if you do a lot of sorting or other big queries that would use a lot of tempdb.
