So the dually would be a better option for Exchange or just max out the PII 400 with as much RAM as it will hold?

Then the users will not be expecting perfection. I'd still go with as much RAM as possible for the Exchange box. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mike Carlson Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 4:27 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Hardware Question Right now there is only 5. It's a home development box. I do some forwarding for a few small websites I host. Right now I run about 1200 messages a day through it with me and the family. I have a extra dual 300 that fell into my lap and I am trying to figure out if I want to migrate my SQL box or my Exchange box to it.

It does have McAfee Groupshield installed though. Client access is OWA and Outlook 2K+2.

Personally, I think both are insufficient on the memory side. I have a PII/300 w/ 384MB RAM hosting 12 users with varied connections and it is maxed. But it does work fairly well. Given absolute choice, I'd pick the greater RAM.

Would it be better to have a single processor PII 400 w/ 384MB of RAM or a dual PII 300 with 256MB of RAM? The sever doesn't get a lot us usage but I want to be better prepared for when the usage increases.
