The hardware is a XEON 3.06 GHz, with 2 GB. Ram.
2 x 36 GB 15K speed Harddisks in Raid 1 (System drive)
5 x 36 GB 15K speed harddisks in Raid 5 (Exchange databases, AD, data drive)

There are two nics (10/100/1000) from Intel setup in a team.
Lan Speed: 2 Gbps.

When looking on overall performance, the server is bored :-) Doesn't use any
CPU, and uses 1 Gb. of Ram.

The Event Viewer doesn't show any errors or warnings...

Hope this is helpfull.

Kindly Regards

Thomas Larsen
