Do you need GUI ON your "server"?

Because, I don't have have ANY Desktop Environment nor X server nor VNC
installed on my server. I use straight SSH. And SWAT to configure samba
for my mod-chip'd XBOX.

I have LOTS on my 600MHz server, 768MB RAM, recently I consolidate my
storage to it. I have TBs worth of data on it and it runs a slimserver,
samba, nfsv4 and other services for my home LAN. Not a single GUI app on
it.

Not really sure what you need, but a Xserver running along with a
desktop environment sure does suck up the resources.
