It's actually only 2GB DDR2 ECC running on an 8400 Dual Core Server which should be more than powerful enough for 10'ish sites utilizing under 100GB/month data transfer.

Since posting this however we've learned that one of our vBulletin installs (more accurately, VBSEO) was eating up close to 50% of the server resources. This would only make sense maybe during the time VBSEO was generating the sitemap but 24 x 7 makes no sense at all.

We've made some schedule changes to the way the vB install is running but are hoping that an upgrade to current version of vB/VBSEO take care of the problem.

Incidentally, all sites are now running offset crons via vBACP as we thought vB's default cron settings may have been jamming things up but that appears to not have had any affect at all.
