Hi, just to add some information here (for 7.6.x based systems).
If you run the DB, ITSM and the Mid Tier all on one machine and allocate less than 4GB of RAM - once the caching has been done then the Server will become practically un-usable due to the AR based processes consuming as much as it can. As it is 64Bit now for all processes (ok, minus the plug-in server) it just eats memory. I have found that less than 2 CPU and less than around 6GB RAM (recommended minimum RAM for installation) the server is slow and very un-responsive at times You can ease the load by scaling back the DB and only allowing it to consume a set amount of RAM (MS SQL has this option). If you want to have a decent system, with all ARS components installed then a 2 CPU 8GB RAM should be the minimum server specifications.

I'll bring that up as well.
