Howdy :)

I own a Pentium II 266.  I observe the speed difference between it and a
Pentium 200 or 233 MMX most when handling large graphics files off a scanner
or playing graphics intensive games.  Also you would see the difference in
business apps if you use lots of clipart in publications, etc.

Otherwise, the fact of the matter is, how fast can you type?  I doubt fast
enough to outrace the CPU ;-)

For your uses I have no doubt that a standard Pentium 233 MMX is plenty fast
for all of your business apps.

Hope this helps :)
