A fileserver needs next to zero processing power. Even an old PII with 256MB would probably do just fine. You're thinking it's more complicated than it really is. But yeah, the biggest bottleneck is for sure is the network. Unfortunately, wireless just isn't the way to go if you're streaming high bitrate files... just not reliable enough.
