Substantial upgrade of existing SBS server, advice sort

Hello,

Well, our existing server is due for replacement and as the
absolutley
essential element of our business data is our exchange 2003 server
and
BCM 2003 I thought I'd get some advice before specing a new server.

Currently we run SBS 2003 (Std) with Exchange 2003 and BCM 2003 on a
P4 2.8G with 3G memory and a 200G Raid0. Upto 10 clients hit it,
(some
via Gigabit ethernet, some via G wireless, some via H/W VPNs some via
S/W VPNs) and its starting to creek.

Thinking of going to something like a Xeon 5335 2G with 4G memory and
300G Raid0. May have one or two more clients. I would like to stay
with SBS although it will probably be a new license (old one is
OEM).

OK, so bearing in mind everything is currently 2003, what should I be
doing in tuerms of SBS, Outlook and BCM? What horrors await me
bearing
in mind that I am going to completly rebuild my domain (various
reasons) so a new domain is to be built and the clients moved over to
it one by one.


Thanks


Stuart
