I don't know much about the proliant so I can't tell you.  But 256MB is a lot.
A server with 256 MB means you probably have a lot of storage, running lots of 
NLMs, and with lots of activities.  I would think that with 256MB and your 
server is running out of steam then would it be better to have another server 
rather than putting more memory in it?.  

If it is just adding more RAM to accommodate more disk space then you must 
have a lot of storage.  With that much space, I hope you an array (no sense to 
do duplex with this much storage) because if something go wrong it would a 
long time to restore.
