I am runningSQL2005 Standard under Windows 2003 Standard with 8 GB of RAM

reason to 128 MB and maxservermemoryto 6114 MB by the previous DBA. We
plan to upgrade it to 32 GB. What is the best approach when changing those
values ? Should I change those values to the defaults (0 - 2147483647) or
create min and max boundaries? . This box is only utilzed bySQL.

Also I know that those changes are reconfigured dynamically so no need to
reboot, but would this place any performance hit in theserverand should I
useManagementstudio or sp_configure ? (for some reason I don't trustManagementstudio for these type of changes :))

Thanks,
