Depends *how* low-volume :-).  Here's a benchmark: our CVSNT server is a
2GHz P4, 1GByte RAM, but it's also running MS Exchange, MS SQL Server,
AVG7 (with real-time scanning disabled on Exchange data files, SQL data
files, and CVS repository and temp).  Four developers, several hundred
files across a dozen or so modules.  We've had no issues at all in just
under 2 years of operation.  It grinds on adding Yet Another Revision of
some large MS Access files, but it sounds like that's not uncommon.
