Too much for this system?

I posting this in networking, but realized it probably belongs in G[H].

Specs:
Intel L440BX (or somthing like that)
Dual Pentium 2 400MHz
512MB PC100 SDRAM

Here is what I'm asking it to run:
Windows 2003 SB Server
Exchange
IIS
SQL
File Server
Backup Server
Far Cry Dedicated Server
Safesquid (Internet Filter)

This is a server for my home, so it will have like 4 clients max. Is this asking too much of this old machine, or will it be able to handle all this?
 
I think you'd be fine except for the farcry dedicated server. Game dedicated servers are by no means "light" load. Ubisoft recommends a 2.4ghz cpu with 512 of ram for a farcry dedicated server...so no, that's not going to cut it, especially with everything else running too. But the rest might be okay, considering you said it will be a light client load.

I have a Tyan Tiger 100 with 2 x 800mhz coppermines and it handles all the ftp work I can throw at it, running Gentoo Linux. But I haven't tried sql and all that either.
