Unless you use Windows 2000 Advanced Server with the /3GB switch, the store process 
will not able to allocate more than 1 GB of RAM.  And since there is no upgrade 
between Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2000 Advanced Server without a complete 
re-install, if you intend to ever benefit from more than 1.5GB of physical RAM in your 
Exchange server, you should start with Windows 2000 Advanced Server.  
 
If you start as Windows 2000 Server, you will be limited to the number of concurrent 
connections you will reasonably want to handle.  Where the cut-off should be is 
difficult to say because it would be based upon how long you intend to keep that 
server in production, the load created by your users, and your potential upgrade path. 
 I suppose if you were reasonably certain that the server would never grow larger than 
100 users and you anticipated a 3 year life expectancy, you'd be safe using Windows 
2000 Server.  So it's a viable alternative for small sites.

        Standard will do it, but if you have a lot of RAM in the box, Advanced
        Server plays more nicely with E2K (both standard & enterprise).

        doc.)
