You can never tell how much processing power you need to run dedicated Internet servers. However you may find your connection isn't up to it.

It's a 55MB file but it's got everything included and set up within it.
Let's see, we've got MySQL, Webalizer, GD image library, PHP, Perl, and lots of other fun stuff!

Linky???
ApacheFriend's XAMPP is the thing to get, everything's already set up...
Even for Windows Apache is a better option as it intigrates with php perl and mysql very well (not to sure about asp)
cheers sorted that then
Yes, it can just be your own PC, or even a disused old one. All you need (if you have XP) is the IIS component, which can be installed through the Add/remove programs link. If you don't have XP, you can download the Apache web server: [URL]http://apache.org/[/URL]
If you wanted to dedicate solely as a web server, bear in mind that strictly speaking ISPs don't allow web servers to run run from a home connection, even if it is broadband. However, most of the time traffic shouldn't be too heavy so it shouldn't be a problem.
