Well it's not so much network access as the file system on the server will be slow with that little ram. If the file system is slow then network shares will be slow as well, doesn't matter if you have gigabit ethernet or not.

I have a server with low hardware specs, i.e. 128 mb ram, etc.<br />
<br />
But, someone said it doesn't matter because it is only a nas box.<br />
However, the speed is very slow to the computer when accessing files.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any input on how the hardware specs can have an impact on the speed of computer access?<br />

hardware specs impact on network connection speed

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
