Performance of Hardware

Hey all,
I have 2 servers that I am interested in SQL Server 2000. One is a
single proc, Intel 2.53Ghz 533FSB with 1GB of dual-channel memory. This
server is running SBS2k3 running as a domain controller and Exchange. The
other is a dual proc AMD Athlon MP with 1500's in them. This server has
768MB and is running Windows 2003 Enterprise with RRAS acting as the gateway
to the internet, DNS, and DHCP. My question is which is the lesser evil? I
want to try out Microsoft CRM 1.2 and trying to balance out the workload.
Any help would be much appriciated.
MichaelMichael,
Some questions to point you down the right track:
What system has the better disc subsystem?
Check perfmon for current CPU loadings etc?

The Intel system (DC, Exchange2k3) has a single 80GB SATA Drive. The AMD
has dual 80GB in a mirrored array (hardware). In terms of performance and
load...there are only 3 clients ever connected so I dont think this is an
issue at all, but I just want to make sure and that is why i'm posting.
Thanks!
