[b:1pfh79us]Windows Home Server 2011 Minimum Requirements[/b:1pfh79us]

1 - 1.4GHz 64-bit single core processor. A multi-core CPU will provide a better experience.
1 - 160GB hard drive(60GB for OS/100GB for storage). Multiple drives provide more storage and provide more backup options.
2 GB RAM. Will function with 2GB, but if you are considering media streaming 4GB should provide better results.
10/100Mbit Network Interface Card (NIC). Consider 1Gb if you have a gigabit network or plan one in the future.
