Ideal Windows 2003 Server Setups for High Availability

What would be a good, solid setup for Windows 2003 Server edition?

I'm looking at some solutions for a high availability, kick butt server configuration setup using Windows Server 2003 (either Standard, Advanced or Data Center version) for 1 website. Here are the parameters:

- Site serves about 20,000 page views a day with about 5,000 uniques (I know this isn't high but it's growing plus our database server hogs memory like crazy)

- The site runs ASP

- The site runs IIS 6.0

- The site runs SQL Server 2000 with Full Text Search enabled (extreme memory hog but necessary for our search functions)

The parameters of what we need would be:

- High amount of RAM to cache SQL Server very heavily for fast access. (Current box has 2 Gig RAM)

- Possible clustered setup for SQL Server 2000 for redundancy.

- Should the IIS service be on a different server or same server than the SQL Server box? Opinions?

Anyone who's heavy into Windows networking/internet server configurations... What do you think would be some good specs on a high-end setup for the needs detailed above? Is a high-end setup even needed? I'm just looking for opinions.

buy the biggest one you can afford.

twin processor, 3.0 GhZ Xeon, twin scsi drives for Raid, etc.
