Processor, memory or hard disk to improve speed ?

[nitrams]

We run a pE2400 with dual 733, 512MB and 18gb,10k SCSI disks, with win 2K SBS, file sharing, sql intranet/database, exchange and sage accounts, but only 5 active users.

I would be grateful to know what most effects speed of network and what I should consider upgrading.

many thanks for any help

I'd definetly want at least 1GB of RAM in a server performing all those roles. Are you running RAID5? I'd imagine the disk are getting a thrasing to running Exchange and SQL together.

You really need to run performance monitor though and check where the bottlenecks are. Personally I'd say you'd be a lot better off buying a second server and spreading the workload (and risk).
