If it was modern code and SQL I would be in more agreement with the hardware being part of the solution.
Don't get me wrong - new hardware will help, especially storing the database on SSDs. But it's just another bandaid, and if we keep running this old software, we'll almost certainly be due for yet another hardware upgrade in a few years, while modern software could set us up to handle additional growth much more effectively.

I've wanted to upgrade software for years, but a hardware migration takes 10% of the work that a software migration does (and still is a ton of work). Thus, the ~5-year cycle of new server upgrade that works well for a bit and then eventually runs into more issues.
