Ok, like the title states, I'm in a bit of confusion as to how to best configure my hardware across the systems I have here. I know that what I'm running isn't in the most optimized configuration.

They all run Win2K, and as long as the 60Gig drive from the file server is on the network somewhere, a fresh install only takes me about 45mins. So re-installing the systems isn't an issue. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
