The common misconception I hear time and time again when I'm in the
electronics stores (even used as a sales pitch by many of them) is that
if you get a faster machine, your Internet browsing will be faster.=20

If you want to browse the Internet as fast as possible, get the fastest
processor and RAM you can afford... or so the misconception goes.=20

I have an old G3 here with the latest, greatest OS X on it, and its very
VERY snappy for browsing, flash, general "office" use, and my daughter's
games.

Its a 350Mhz machine. _megahertz_. My Palm Treo is faster than this
entire machine, and yet there is zero lag, and my "Internet" is just as
fast as it is on my 3.2Ghz AMD64 machine.=20
