Depends on what they're doing. For students who will be running simple
queries on small databases, probably. As Warren points out, this isn't
a production server. Make sure to keep the databases down to a
reasonable size and you should be fine. Remember, people have run SQL
servers on much less powerful systems than a PII-400.
