How many machines are you planning on running at once? Those specs are going to be on the weak side for multiple machines running exchange.
If you have a socket 478 cpu, you can get a pretty decent upgrade for $50-60: http://www.pricewatch.com/cpu/
It looks like you can only go up to 1.8 if you have the 423-pin version.
I'd also try to get up to 2gb of ram if your mobo supports it. That older memory is going to be pretty cheap: http://www.pricewatch.com/system_memory/

You'd also need VM's for other servers that are needed for Exchange installation, I.E. Directory Services, DNS, WINS, etc.B.S.B.A. (Management Information Systems)
