Roy, 

For smaller scale companies there is buying high range P3's and making
them into servers should be overly expensive so any small business. Keep
in mind to run a DC in a small office all you really need is a P3-800,
256/20/CD/NIC and you are pretty much set. 

I have setup small businesses up to 15 users on two machines, one is
usually a dual P3 with plenty of ram, and hard drive, while the other is
a single P3 with plenty of ram and hard drive running GSX Server
(VMware) without any problems.

An example of this is running not including the ISA machine is:

This currently runs on a dual P3-1Ghz, 2GB RAM, RAID 1 (4x 40GB WD 8MB
Cache HDs / 2x RAID 1), CD, NIC.

Regards
Andrew

There might be a lot of security risks if stuff
all service into one server box, however believe
small scaled company will have less budget to 
allow taking new server according to needs of each
service/function, company owner always request for
low cost with high performance.

As discussed in my ealier message with Tim & Jim,
I did stuff SQL server & DC into ISA2K4 box which 
must be not a good scheme. I can't easily withdraw
it because I need function of "proxy"/"web filter"/
"DC" by limited on server. If so, I could have one
stupid solution to put a hardware firewall router
in front of ISA 2K4 server so for protection of Lan
from Wan side. Does it make sense? Please comment.
