Geoffrey, The problem with PC industry is that it's a replacement market. Everybody has a computer which is pretty adequate, but they'd like to have a better one. As I understand you bottleneck is in your Internet connection. Unless you get a DSL/cable modem you won't see much difference with a new PC vs. old PC. Yes, Windows will run faster, but WWW (world wide wait) will be as slow as it is right now. As far as your new computer goes, my advice would be to buy a DELL with Celeron. It can be had for around $600. Get 256MB of SRAM and you'll be very happy. You'll save $300 - $400 which will buy you a new computer in three years. Another consideration: don't buy monitor and/or printer from DELL. They charge a lot more than other online retailers. I recently bought Samsung SYNCMASTER 770TFT from thenerds.net . I found them on www.cnet.com . I also bought Samsung ML1210 Laser printer for $199. Works great. P.S. It may make sense to check out DELL refurbished systems. I heard people who bought them were happy.
