You actually need to use that. It doesnt mean what your thinking. Your computer will turn into a network because you can have millions of web page files.

I'm using apache on xp, and have chosen just localhost as ServerName:

# 127.0.0.1 is the TCP/IP local loop-back address, often named localhost. Your
# machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for
# local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name.
#
ServerName localhost

No virtualhosts or anything - just straight up! :D

Hmmm..
You mean Virtualhosts, as in more than one domain from the ip?

### example for vhost / knutm ###
<VirtualHost 192.165.0.63>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
ServerAlias mydomain.com
ServerAdmin admin@mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /the/path_to_root
ErrorLog logs/mydomain.error
TransferLog logs/mydomain.access
</VirtualHost>
