Capacity of active/passive Exchange 2000 cluster

Are there any good documents on how many mailboxes and how big the
information stores can get on an active/passive Exchange 2000 cluster before
you get into performance issues ?

I have heard that the practical limit is approx 1,500 mailboxes but are
these 100mb or 1gb mailboxes ???

Thanks for you assistance,

Ken

Depends on your hardware, type of clients, etc. See
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library for tons of docs.
