Something is wrong, for sure. My forum is bigger - not much, but bigger - and we use only one server, a Pentium D with 2 GB RAM for 300-350 users and almost never the server load go higher from 1.
In my case the killer optimization was Sphinx. Server load decreased, no more table corruption... do you use Sphinx?
Do not go for another server, not yet.
