For both servers I'd have at least 32GB Ram and 4 Hard Drives in raid 10.
For a 9GB database, that amount of RAM seams like overkill to me.
Unless you expect to grow a lot faster than you've been growing, or
perhaps your middle tier consumes a lot of those 32GB, I don't see the
point there.
The middle tier does caching and can easily take up to 10GB of RAM,
therefore I'm buying more.
