I am planning to convert a Intel Core 2 Duo machine into a fileserver

capacity is 160 GB. This machine was previously used as a desktop.
Will this config be suitable for a fileserver or do you need a full
blown server for builing a file serverWill this
To setup a fileserver, all you need is an excellent network through-put
and equally fast hard-disk. Its better to have some form of data
redundancy (RAID) and/or backup in place (depending on the criticality
of data being stored/served). The CPU speed shouldn't matter much.
