For probably 90% of people, 256MB and a G3 chip is overkill for what
they actually do (emailing, flicking through simple websites, typing in
Word, etc.) ... ignoring the over-bloated new software which insists on
having more / newer. My PowerMac has 288MB of RAM.  :-)

BUT it depends what you're doing. For people doing things like editing
HD film, large high-res images, etc., more RAM is a great help.

Again, depends on what the "server" is doing. A simple file server,
especially with a small number of users, needs very little RAM or
processing power - which is why Apple sells the Mac Mini to be used as
a server. A server is just sitting there doing absolutely nothing most
of the time (it does even less than a user's computer).
