linux or windows? are you behind a fire wall/router what is your connection speed.... The computer you have is more than adequate

2mbps down or 2mbps up and down? what matters most is your upload speed.

anyways, to start off, look at the tutorials here.

they are pretty comprehensive and you shouldn't have any problems if you follow them.

hm.. well find out what ur upload is.. http://www.dslreports.com run an internet speed test..

and the only thing about your computer.. cpu is awesome for it.. but maybe a lil more mem.. i run 512 on my server.. and sometimes it uses all of that.. so more mem is all i can say.. i would have more, but i don't have money... lol
