depending on the OS it might be alright, dedicated is pretty nippy.

however, XP pro probably isn't the best os to use for that spec of system as a server. if its a 'throw away' system (ie not one that has other things used on it that you need) might I recommend getting yourself one of the .i386 based linux distros. first of all their free, second they're one helluva lot more secure when it comes to anything with 'server' in the title and three, it will give you a great opportunity to see just jow far linux has come over the last few months.

it depends more on your connection speed and package type, some broadband ISP's are incredibly fussy about running game servers on their connection, and dynamic address's can prove a pain in the neck when it comes to servers.

Pentium 2 400mhz
256mb PC-133 ram

that should be ok for some of the smaller games.. the graphics card wont be relevant as it doesnt have anything to render.

yeah but will gigabyte internet be fine? cause its is fast, but as good as they use for normal server?

thats a little misleading.. you may have a gigaBIT connection to your cable modem, but your cable modem's connection to your ISP will likely be 10mbps (megabits per second). and then from there, your ISP is probably further capping your cable modem to a much slower speed.

the best way to find our your actual bandwidth rates is to either enquire your ISP, or do some testing (like uploading/downloading to a fast server, and measuring there).

he could of just meant a cable modem supplied by gigabyte?
anyhow, yeah, what slacker said

yeah now that you mention it, i vaguely recall hearing about gigabyte being a company name. but wording it like "yeah but will gigabyte internet be fine?" sounds more like a connection type rather than the manufacturer

wow, sry for the typo :-(

. and slacker, gigabyte is a company, ever been into computer hardware? they make great 3rd party video cards and mother boards. heres just one product <a href='http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-121-520&depa=1' target='_blank'>http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-121-520&depa=1</a>
