No. The web pages often include plugins (Shockwave, for example) that
require a lot of CPU and graphics card power to render perfectly.
Moreover, rendering DHTML, especially in Netscape, is taxing.

An example. I've a 400-MHz Celeron at home and 200-MHz Pentium PRO at
the university, and I render complex pages at least twice faster at
home. Explorer deals with it significantly faster on both system, but
the difference is noticeable too.

I think you should use the '600 for all the stuff and hook the '200 to
it as a secondary system, and probably share your Internet connection
to it as well.
