Jami,

Can you provide a bit more information such as current and proposed;

 data volumes in and out per hour
 numbers of upstream and downstream feeders
 size of the LDM product queue
 system load average, "top", and i/o status

I'm guessing the current systems are lightly loaded CPU wise, but are using
most if not all of their real memory.  You might be fine just buying a lot
more memory for the current systems.
