Original iBook 500/DVD for surfing?
How much of a difference does mHz speed make if one's primary use is surfing using high speed broadband?
For instance, would a 66 bus 500mHz iBook feel any or much slower than say the 100 bus speed 600 mhz iBook?
Where is the bottleneck with an internet connection?
I probably wouldn't use OSX either so that's not an issue. I would just use it for mainly writing in Appleworks and maybe Filemaker Pro.

Well, I can't answer the bus speed question, but the 500mhz ibook should be fine for that stuff. I had one for a long while until I upgraded to my powerbook and I never felt it was too slow for my needs. Just load it up on RAM and you should be peachy. The ibook is a GREAT computer and I miss it all the time (my g/f has it now, so I still get to visit). I'm sure you can pick one up for cheap too. You really can't go wrong with it. Great price for what you get.
