Take the extra money and upgrade RAM and add disks. Use a mirrored pair for OS, mirror for Logs, and raid 5 for store. You'll be happy in the long run with recovery vs speed.

Subject: Is it worth the extra expense?
We are looking to purchase a Compaq Proliant ML370 1.2GHz, 512mb Ram with 3 x 36.4GB Hard drives in a raid 5 for our new Exchange Server. Is it worth the extra Expense to go for the 15,000rpm hard drives over the 10,000 rpm hard drives? The extra cost would be about £950 that's $1345. Would we see much extra performance?
We are only a small company at the moment with 50 users.
Your thoughts would be very welcome
