The processor speed will help if you have a site that does a lot of small scripts or PHP stuff, but again if not a lot of people will be on at once, it doesn't matter much.
RAM is pretty much the same. One person on the server... low RAM usage. 100 people on the server... more RAM usage.
Don't even worry about the graphics card, as it will do you no good (no bad, but no good) for your server.

we mainly plan to use it for multiple web page hosting. as well as quite a few php based forums.
we are also wondering how well it would do hosting games for personal lan use. weve really wanted a decent machine that can host supreme commander with 4+ players and 6 AI. after everyone has 400+ units our current machines have been crapping out.
we are currently winning the bid on

so unless were outbid i think this will be our new machine.
