Depends what you want your server to serve ... I have a few small businesses with a 1GHz server with a pair of mirrored drives connected to their Gb LAN, running Samba, + LAMP and they "just work".
You don't need cores for fileserving unless you've got money (in heat) to throw away as they'll be idle 99% of the time.
This is a perfect small-office replacement for some of my existing ones that are now in their 4th year.
