Although I know pentium IV( prescott) to core 2 was a huge jump on the

Just wanted to chime-in and lament the loss of the PPC *and the P4.*
When Computers4Christians started, I was the "Mac guy." I greatly
enjoyed giving a new life to PowerPC Macs for a good while, but soon the
demands of the Internet made all but the most souped-up PPC Macs
impossible to give away and feel good about it. The same thing happened
roughly two years ago with i386/32-bit/P4 computers (PIII was already
too old in 2011). Technology marches on - and on the Internet - that's
video technology. Even when a parent says they just need their child/ren
to be able to do homework - that now necessitates that computer being
able to reliably stream video.
Websites I use to test machines include http://www.godtube.com/movies/,
http://www.godvine.com/, http://www.jesuseveryday.com/onlinemovies.htm,
and for Flash specifically (yes, Flash is still around);
