So I've got a new dual-Xeon 1M Cache / 4GB RAM / RAID-10 array.
This server is going to be used as a database server. The database consists of only 30 files or so, accounting for some 10GB. No other app will run on this server, no AD, web, etc...
Suggestions for OS optimization/tweaks to improve performance?

Holy guacamole that's a nice box. I think other than making sure all the other windows components you don't need are uninstalled, you're in really good shape.
Being a server (and I assume a critical server) I'm not into registry hacks and whatnot. I don't want to risk any unknown instabilities.
