Multiple Storage Groups a good thing?

Good afternoon -

I work in a medium sized firm with about 80 users. We are on an Exchange 2003 active/passive (2) node cluster.

Right now, for the most part, everyone is in one mailbox store, within one storage group

We also have Anitgen installed on both nodes.

It seems like I'm always battling memory issues even though i have 4GB RAM installed and the 3GB switch configured.

Exchange 2007 64bit is gonna be nice!!

Anyway, my question is this..

I'm thinking of taking advantage of the three other Storage Groups, creating a total of (4) Storage Groups each with 3 mailbox stores.

With each storage group running it's own ESE engine, is this going to improve performance or make it worse?
