I have a windows 7 platform and wanted to host a file server so that I can share my files in the internet? Would I need a hardware upgrade? My machine is a 4Gb with a 3.0 ghz clock speed processor. What would be the minimum requirements for this server and how effective would the performance be with my specifications?

The major component affecting the performance of file server is the network connection speed, and also the disk access speed. Normally, 3.0 GHZ CPU with 4 GB ram is quite good for running Windows 7 and it will be ok for hosting a file server when the system is idle. However, the performance will be reduced when processing for example playing 3D games or using Photoshop etc.
