a bit light on memory, i'd say. exchange really gets happy with about
2gb of memory and w2k advanced server using the /3GB switch. anything
at, or over, 1gb is good.

>4. Do I use Perf Mon to determine exactly which threads are using the CPU? I remember once seeing how to install Exchange objects in to Perf Mon; in ours there are not any "Exchange" Performance Objects to select...

use the 'threads' object. select '% cpu' as the counter. then select
the threads to watch from the list (if it's the store.exe you want,
select all the 'store' threads).

hint: it's easy to spot problem threads if you use 'histogram' view
instead of watching all the squiggly lines jumping all over the place
in the normal 'chart' view. :)
