TS on domain controller

Microsoft does not advice to install Terminal Services on a domain
controller, according to this quote:
"Plan to install Terminal Server on a standalone server, not on a domain
controller. When installed on a domain controller, Terminal Server
performance is affected because of the additional memory, network traffic,
and processor time required to perform the tasks of a domain controller in a
domain."

At this customer of us we want to enable TS on a domain controller because
the only alternative is making an Exchange server domain controller. The
server is a brand new box, dual Xeon 3.4 GHz with 5 GB. The amount of users
is low, not more than 30 and we plan to install a second domain controller.
The network is also upgraded to gigabit.

So, that's plenty of processorpower, bandwith and memory. Any advice?
