hi I have a AT case with a P90mhz 32mb ram. I was thinking of puting a PCI ATA66 card in there and puting a 40gb drive in it for a home network. Will this be worth wild?

thanks
 
If it is just serving files, that would be more than adequate. I've had servers at work years ago on 486-33's with 24M RAM serving files for 500+ people and the servers rarely got above 20% utilization. (OK, they were running Netware but the point being that serving files doesn't take much juice.)
 
We have an ancient P120 NT4 server down here. Running on a 10based network serving around 10 users. It's does it's job well... guess it's more limited by network bandwidth.
 
I'm using a p120 with 64 megs of ram as a mp3 and realaudio server. Works quite well. Yours should work well as well. =)
