    It should work perfectly OK.

    Remember that you need a fast CPU if you have a database server that
processes many queries from many users simultaneously.
    Since your "server" will process very few queries (maybe one per second,
something like that) even a slow (by modern standards) 600 MHz CPU will be
more than enough...
    I'd say for such an application, your hardware is way overkill (it would
work on a smartphone...) but since hardware is so cheap...
