We have about 3500 PCs and use NT 4 and Exchange 5.5 today.  There are about
4000 accounts with a good number of distribution lists.  The DC sizer tool
from MS indicates I need a quad CPU box with two arrays.  Really?!?  That
could get very expensive depending on the domain model chosen and level of
fault tolerance employed.  

What are the real world hardware guidelines for DCs and GC servers in a
3000-4000 user domain with several sites and Exchange 2k.
