Take a look at the output of SP_Configure. First run

USE master;
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced option', '1';

inorder to set it to show all of the configuration info.

In my personal opinion, and other more experienced DBAs may contradict me here, but I believe SQL Server 2008 is generally pretty well tuned out of the box when it is installed onto a proper I/O subsystem.

I would not tweak anything in SP_Configure without having a very specific reason and only after testing it. I have seen people who have SQL Server 2008 on systems that are not only used as DB servers set the memory to lower than the max available, though, so that the other applications have enough memory to run properly, though.
