You simply cannot make use of your server's power on a 32bit OS.
Since it is a dedicated server anyway, install a 64bit OS (I prefer
debian linux, but install whatever 64bit linux you know best) and set
the buffer pool to around 6.5GB. All other variables depend on you
usage, so are you running a web application with lots of small queries
or is it only very few connections running big queries? what is the size
of your DB? You'll need to provide more information to get help here.
