Home network

Hello all-
I have a few computers here at home that I have networked for my family.

1) AMD, 1.2 GHz Athlon, 256 RAM, 40 Gig HDD
2) 900 MHz Duron, 256 RAM, 20 gig hdd
3) 120 MHz Pentium I, 32 RAM, 1.2gig hdd (yes, old sys)

I simply want to use the Athlon 1.2 as the main computer in the house and as the server. I plan to use the old Pentium 1 as a client pc. The client pc is for my 11 yr old daughter who does not get into any 3D games or anything. She just use it for internet, Enclopedia Britannica 2002, and MS Word. I was wondering is it worth it to just keep the Pentium 1 as a simple client pc that feeds off of the main pc? I prefer to just sell the Duron for a few needed dollars. I can't even give away the Pentium of course. Is it worth it to keep the Pentium for the type of use my daughter will do?

May be worthwhile setting it up as a firewall and/or print server.
