We have W2K Servers which were prepared with the default cluster size of 512
bytes. My partitions are 11204MB. Should I change this for future servers we
plan to setup?

Its the old "Make your NTFS cluster size 4096" thing.  I'll be honest, I
don't know what the performance enhancement is.  I do it on my new servers
out of habit, but I don't think you're hurting yourself that much.
