What are the Samba AD DC System Requirements? I imagine that they are
incredibly low.

It all depends on what you mean by 'system requirements', I have

compiled and run a samba DC on a raspberry pi.

academic exercise. Otherwise, all our stuff is second hand, some of it
10 years old. 600 users and 80 clients. Our DCs are old 1Gb:40Gb. We've
no idea why people waste good hardware on something that does nothing
most of the time.

I ran pmap -x on the parent samba process and the resident memory it
used was 41336K. So I am just going to say it needs 65536K of memory,
which is considered to be barely any in 2014.

2004: the year of the Itanium... that would be fully satisfactory.
A bit power hungry maybe. But anyway.

On the one hand: yes. But on the other... I just replace a
Raspi as AD DC, because it did noticeably slow down the speed
of my file server when accessing large numbers of little
files. And this is a single user scenario.

If You got 500 clients You might want at least something like
an i3. But indeed, the AD DC is not the first place to start
looking for performance bottlenecks.

:-) yeah - but for the patient ones it works...

No contest here. Throw every spare cent you have at the file servers.

Sure, and what we do: run your DC's as virtual machines on file/mail
servers. That's optimal use of the fast hardware. All our DC's are
virtual now. Making backup/restore really easy as well: we shutdown the
dc, and take a copy of the VM disk image: done.
