It depends.
Are going to read the data often? Or just copy the data to a datawarehouse once per day?

Microsoft technet state that
"<i>Memory bottleneck if Consistently low average page life expectancy. See Average Page Life Expectancy Counter which is in the Perfmon object SQL Server Buffer Manager (this represents is the average number of seconds a page stays in cache). For OLTP, an average page life expectancy of 300 is 5 minutes. Anything less could indicate memory pressure, missing indexes, or a cache flush</i>"

---Thanks---
