garhart - I went to using 2 machines to establish the best possible firewall..... The main puter I use for most important stuff I don't ever connect to the internet. The other one that I use for internet surfing doesn't have anything on it but Windows ME and MS Word and few programs I need for the internet like Adobe Acrobat. That way if I get a virus, I can just reformat and reload in less than an hour.

I agree that not much power is needed for surfing. I have a 866MHz Intel processor, 256Mb ram, and a 64Mb GForce2 video card on this one and it seems to provide all the power I need. The offline puter is a 1.8Mhz Intel and is probably more power than I need since I don't usually do much with graphics but it is great for playing Railroad Tycoon II on.
