There are certain best practises for Capacity Planning to follow when considering SQL Server Production environment.
1)Check that the hardware is modular and will facilitate hardware upgrades ,if the databases outgrow the the current hardware set up
2)Carry out a realistic load test on the prospective hardware to gauge the performance of the hardware . Think of user load and stress test
3)Ensure the hardware is powerful enough to allow the efficient use of new caharacteristics / features of SQL Server
4)"Kill it with metal" approach in Database Tuning will suggest to buy new hardware, particuarly as it's getting cheaper. It's a linear approach to often non-linear performance issues. Be wary , and justify this approach
