Minimum Requirements for a Server box?

[n0id]

Ive just started reading up on the many guides of starting a local lan server, so im going to give it a go in the next few days.

What i want to know is, will my "extra" comp that i have be powerful enough for 2 people (just me and my wife)

Bare with me, its a pos comp and very old

P3 - 600 mhz Celeron
64mb SDram
11mb On board video
10 gig hd
Windows 98SE + all updates (unsure if it could even work with win2000, and i know it wont with XP)

So there it is, my pos box, but i need to do something with it.

My only other choice is to try and run a server + client on my main machine (ive heard its damn near impossible and to not try it)

-main machine-

p4-2.0ghz
512 ddr ram
20gig 7200rpm hd
Geforce 4 TI4400


Think its possible? Any info would be greatly appreciated, just a yes/no answer, and a quick reason why. I would rather not have to try and upgrade that machine, because im broke, so please no "buy more of this and upgrade that" posts Just a quick yes/no and reason(if no) will do fine!

Thanks!!
