and if you are going to be serving games...hehe....
like i have a file server for my house, which has 7 computers right now, including the server...and the server is just my OLD OLD computer, with an overclocked k6-2 350@450...used to be a pentium233, but my friend had a 350 laying around...so i threw that in there..
i put a 10 gig hard drive in there, and 64 megs of ram, a cheasy jaton pci video card...with 4 megs of vram...and a network card...installed win xp...and stored all my music videos, and other various files that i didnt really need to have on my computer all the time....
works fine for what i use it for...but i would definately not use this thing as a file server for more than 10 users, who would be constantly accessing it, or a game server for anything other than checkers, or solitaire (why solitaire, that is a one player game....hence the name SOLitaire...oh well, must mean bed time!)
this thing is being accessed mainly by me, and even then, not often...
so, more details....please
