pt - <Do you feel a high powered processor facilitates your internet use?>

I have a PII now. I plan on upgrading to a Coppermine some time this year.

Slow bothers me. I actually went off line at home for two years because Dial-up modems are bogus, once you're used to ISDN and above connections.

Every bit helps, be it processor, memory, or connection. Slow s*cks, although I'm certainly not one to go out and buy the highest price point. A 733 Slot 1 or FCPGA with slocket later this year will be cool.

Also, I do use some stand alone programs that would certainly utilize any processor power gains.
