Memory is cheap, just buy it.
About splitting table I have an opinion:
if some rows are being accessed more than other, than split table.
This will
- make row size less for most reading rows
- make less pages for most reading data

This can speedup some queries a lot. Had several cases
with this, did split, got huge performance increase.
But, this depends on data structure, etc.
