So I inherited this NT 4/Exchange 5.5 server and (surprise!) it's 
hateful.  What with it soon being both hateful and unsupported I'm 
looking at "upgrading" to more recent software.  From the Exchange 2003 FAQ:

Q: What are the minimum hardware requirements for Exchange 2003?
A: The minimum practical hardware requirements in our experience are 
1.25 times the disk space one would allocate under Exchange 2000, 1GB 
RAM (4GB minimum if the Exchange server also serves any other function) 
and the fastest processor(s) you can afford.

Q: Am I better off with one really fast processor or two somewhat slower 
processors?
A: You're better off with two really fast processors.

There's more, oh, so much more, and I haven't even started the migration 
yet.  Still, look on the bright side, at least it isn't Notes or GroupWise.
