SQL Server Instance Performance


this has been answered elsewhere, i've been unable find it.

if assume following server configuration.

sql server 2005 enterprise x64

2 x quad core cpus
72gb ram

c: (os, mirrored pair)
d: (data file drive 3xhdd raid 1+0)
e: (log file drive mirrored pair)
f: single stand alone disk backups
tempdb split 8 files on e: drive

best practice/optimal performance configuration server host several databases.
databases will, theoretically, not busy @ same time, when become busy, take extreme hit on short period of time.
had 1 client go live, , ram didnt seem issue, cpu's took bit of beating.  improved improving indexes.

i thinking best way go keep on 1 instance, , go there.  multiple instances has little overhead, half resource (in addition, alter amount of memory being used, need restart entire instance).

thoughts please?

regards

andy
