It has a dual core 3.0 GHz processor & 1 GB memory. I had thought of
increasing the memory, but don't know if that will be effective. The drives
are mirrored SATA with 7200 RPM.
What is the OS Processor Queue Length? The # of Operating System items in
the queue waiting to be processed?
How important is it to reduce this alert?
Are the only solutions hardware related?

Thanks
