You don't need much for the internet. Machine speed ecllipses modem speed.
For the appp's; it all comes down to chip speed. Celerons are pretty much identical to the faster chips . . . though they have simply been told to run w/ a slower clock-speed. (many buy these cheap, and overclock them . . .. but then you need more cooling, et cetera. )
My suggestion: use a POS cmptr for the internet, and something nicer for all other app's.
