The First recommended configuration

I had requested suggestions on setting up a practice site at home. Based on the resources listed at the bottom, a member emailed me and suggested the following configuration for a 3 tier solution. I thought it was cocky, but he dared anyone to make it better without upgrading the hardware. So here is Boyz.

Tier 1
Web Server - AMD Athlon XP 1600 - 384mb PC133 SDRAM
Drive-1 (6.3gb) .NET Standard Server / IIS 6.0 / ISA Server / DNS Server Drive-2 (60gb) Multiple Partitions / Swap File / ISA Cache Database / DNS Database

Tier 2
Application Server - Dual P3 933GHz - 1024mb PC2100 DDR266 Drive-1 (9.1gb) .NET Standard Server /Application Center / Exchange / Domain Controller

Tier 3
Dell - Database Server
