Default New Server - what spec?

I have a small network of 10 users on windows XP and 98.
I'm looking to buy a new server, which will serve files and handle the Access databases we run.

The database performance can get quite sluggish, so I need some advice on

- what server spec to go for
I know I need plenty of HDD space, but I'm not sure what other factors will improve the performance for file access

- how else can I tune my network or db to perform better

- is it worth investing in MS Small Business server. Looks like quite a lot. We currently just run windows 2000 on the server machine

any help appreciated - this forum looks excellent
