| Add more RAM to the one with 1GB. Move the task of being server away from the workstation (even a cheaper old G4 or G5 tower could handle the job of file server). The key is dedicating a machine to the job of being "file server".
Avoid Western Digital, Maxtor, Trashiba, LaCie, Fujitsu ... etc. ... Choose Hitachi or Seagate.
