Another widely held belief is that servers need to be built on really powerful and expensive hardware. This is true of dedicated equipment intended for high end power users (for example ISP's and hosting companies) however you can happily run a server on just about any PC or Laptop.
A 1Ghz Pentium III PC with 1 gigabyte of memory will easily cope with hundreds of simultaneous Web page requests. This would be more than adequate for a commercial brochure site with a few thousand items plus a mail server .
