Ok its running
right now its slow like hell because I have only 512MB ram inside the other 1G is delayed

so I would say the first priority for a EX2K server is RAM!!!!!!

your hdd and cpu is meaningless

when I have full 1.5G the next update will follow

No, they are not meaningless...just less critical than RAM. I'm assuming that you don't have many (if any) users accessing the machine yet. Once it's under load cpu time will go up, especially if you're running OWA and any kind of anti-virus server on top of it. And the hard drive is far from meaningless. True, Exchange runs a lot of its processes in ram, but are you forgetting that it's a transaction-based database? EVERYTHING is flushed to log files on disks. The log files grow to 5MB then start over. It is not uncommon to generate over 5GB of logs every day. So hard drive access/write time is also important. But good luck.
