On Win2K the problem is not one of size ... but rather of security, stability, and scalability.

How sensitive is the data?
How much downtime can you afford rebooting the server because the OS leaks memory?
Have many users? How many transactions?

Size if just a question of hard disk capacity. The other criteria are far more critical.
