Performance??? Sure, and security. It isn't mandatory that a DC have no other purpose. It's just *recommended* - and also that you have more than one. Real world scenarios vary widely.

I can't answer that for you with the limited information provided, sorry. You'd have to provide a lot more detail about your configuration (existing or planned) in order for anyone to guess. Also - please don't snip out all the quoted text in your replies; it makes it impossible for others to follow the thread. Thanks.

You'll need x64 or W2003 Enterprise to take advantage of all that RAM . I'm not a SQL guru so I can't say whether or not the processor will be sufficient. What about file/print? One presumes you'll have that need, too. Ideally, you'd have two DCs, one SQL/CRM box (member server), and one file/print (member server). However, your file/print services *could* be a DC as well....you just need to have two DCs. And one of them can be on low-end hardware. So that's either three or four servers, and you could likely get away with three.
