Yep, I totally agree I've just had my chaps put in a second server (which is about the size of a small car!) on one site for just Exchange and a file/printer share type things, the sql app runs elsewhere
We used to get some big joke type movies emailed or downloaded and before you knew it every user would forward it to every other user going round and round which would quite happily cripple the lan. Exchange needs a minimum of 1gb just for itself? I'm sure we spec'd the server with far more memory than that. Aside from what MS recommend because its gonna need more if you'd like to know what we recommend I'll ask the hardware guys.

Apparently it consumes huge overhead, and can draw a Server nearly to its knees from time to time. I do have 2 clients running Exchange Servers. They both recently ugraded their Servers (all not just Exchange). In both cases they left Exchange on its own server, as opposed to trying to comingle Server processes from 2 older units to one newer, faster Server. I bet it was due to Exchange Server's demand for RAM and other resources.
