Okay, I've been asked to setup an Exchange Server 2003 and I was wondering
in
what order from most important to least important do you put the hardware?
Example, 1. Processor 2. Memory 3. Hard Drive space.

So would it be more important to have 1gig memory with 2 duel 3.2ghz xeon
processors with 3 73scsi drives in Raid 5
or
Pentium D Processor 830 @ 3.2ghz duel core, with 4 hard drives at 250gig
in
Raid 5 with 2gigs of ram?


Disk First, RAM , then processor.

Ill take what's behind door number 2
