380 Mb of RAM for a "huge hits" MS SQL machine is way under spec'ed. It's a 
joke. 1 gb would be comfortable for MS SQL, esp since memory is so cheap now.

You should be running x SQL on a dedicated backend server, anyway, rather 
than on a busy web server.  380 mb for IIS+MSSQL is pretty silly. MS SQL 
should start with a 512 mb machine all to itself.
