Answer 1

Your best bet would be to get the fastest Dual-Core processor that you can afford and the most RAM that you can afford (at least 2GBs of RAM). Personally, I'd pick the AMD over the Celeron. Pentium and above in the Intel line is okay. Here's one, add the extra RAM though. About $345.

Have a look on ebay  

(For 500 you get - 2.8 Dual Core CPU  

                              -4GB Memory   (you need the 4gb)

                              -400GB Hard Drive

                              -Wi-Fi .......

Buy a fast computer with no video card and you have a good PC for years.

Answer 3

I think the best thing for you at this point is an ASUS EEE Box - it costs about 350 bucks and comes with a 1.6ghz Intel Atom processor, up to 1GB of RAM, 80 gigabyte hard drive and Windows XP.

It should be perfectly suited to what you want.

PS. Never buy from a store - they're almost always overpriced in comparison to internet shopping.
