Some (like Sharepoint) only runs on servers. Most runs fine a normal PC.
You don't give any argument for one or the other. So it's difficult to advise.

O.K. i have a Small home business and one computer
(older system, 1.2ghz, 2g ram, 40g HD, cable modem)
Ya its slow-ER but it does the job,. Now I'm either going to get a New Faster, Biger computer, router and share Cable/printer/etc.
or should I get smaller computer and a small server?
Any Ideas??
thanks
