Maximum Server Member (In MB) - question

According to my notes for SQL Server 2005

Set 'Maximum Server Member (In MB)' to 1 GB less then the amount of RAM on the Server.

Example: 32 GB – 1 GB = 31 GB * 1024 = 31,744 MB, then round it to the nearest thousand

Is this correct?  Any other feedback?

In our SQL Server Monitoring Performance tool (Spotlight),  below are some alarms,  I see some of the following alarms.  Any comments?  I am trying to get this SQL Server to run more efficiently.

Thanks for any feedback.  PLEASE CORRECT MY ABOVE NOTE IF IT IS INCORRECT!

Spotlight Alarm Log:
Normal    Network - Percentage Bandwidth (MS TCP Loopback interface)

Disk E: has an average queue length of 41.1.    High    Disks - Queue Length (E:)

Network card 'MS TCP Loopback interface' is averaging 100% of its maximum bandwidth.
