Dell-DylanJ · Answer

Increasing memory won't resolve CPU utilization issues. You would need a faster processor for that. The other thing that you would want to double check is that the BIOS profile is set to Performance mode and that the BIOS and iDRAC are on the latest firmware. In the past, there were some issues with CPU C states that were corrected with firmware updates.
