You don't need much hardware, if you're only serving files on a home network. Your AMD dual core would be more than sufficient. I have a server in the closet that shares files, downloads torrents, and also has Apache (web server). It's running a P4 with WinXP, 1GB of ram. I don't like wireless, so all my computers are on cat5. I don't have a landline, so I converted all my phone jacks to RJ45.
