I would recommend installing routers2.cgi as your front end - it will 
give you this feature and a lot more.

If you migrated your files from .LOG on a 5 min interval then the RRD's 
will also have a 5min interval, remove your .rrd files, reset the 
interval and they will be created with the correct resolution.

They will be different by different OS and maybe even by different OS 
version, if you use a standard MIB (like UC-DAVIS for your *nix system) 
then providing each machine is reporting the MIB values then the 
template will be the same without having to use the OID numbers.

There's plenty in the archives about Windows monitoring services so have 
a look.
