I'm running about 1100-1200 mailboxes on a Dual Xeon 2.8ghz with 4 gigs
of ram .
Until recently, I had 400 gigs worth of stores. Right now I'm down to
about 275gigs worth. I think this server would easily handle another
1500-2000 mailboxes based on the memory/cpu utilization I've seen. With
3.6 or 3.8ghz processors I think 4000+ users on a dual box would be
fine.
It should be noted this server has nothing on it except A/V and stores .
I have a front-end server as an SMTP/POP3/IMAP/OWA gateway.

I've come across the rule of thumb that there should be a
processor for every 1000 users. I've also looked at the MMB3 stats as
well. My question is, what's the best way to determine the number and
type of processors needed for 4000 users on Exchange 2003?
