samba - Jul 1999 - Most effective amount of memory

What is most effective amount of memory for a RedHat 6.0 box used as a file /
print / mail server?

I have 128MB in a Celeron 400 box running file/print/mail services & Gnome.

It seems a little slow.

Not sure if it's the RAM, video ( cheapo 2MB Cirrus Logic card) &/or
hard drive Quantum IDE 6GB hard drive.

How many concurrent users are connected to your file server at a time? I
can't imagine a C400 with 128ram being slow for anything but a fairly
large user base. Also, why would you be running Gnome (or for that matter
even have X installed) on a server machine?
