Hi Hei

With that many users and running ALL those services DON'T
go cheap. Get Dual processor Box with 4 Gigs of RAM and at
least two Big SCSI on RAID and more on RAID 5 if you can
afford. I like Dell boxes myself. Be sure and reduce the
Exchange Cache from 50% of Memory to 10% or that 4 Gig
will get used up in Exchange!
