If i answer:
the real is you don’t have to spec it but find the cheapest it ready to internet if the computer do not have modem, buy it
Minimum (Very minimum) i think:
Pentium 3
Windows 98/xp/vista/linux
128 mb ram
Recommend:
Intel Dual Core
Windows xp/vista/linux
512 mb ram
if you have money:
Intel Core i7 Extreme 965
Windows vista/mac
4 gb ram

Why would you want to waste your money replacing a computer that has become infected by a virus, malware or whatever? No mater if it cost $100, that is waste of your money! All you have to do is use trusted web sites and install and use regularly the “free” anti virus protections, anti malware and other free software like Spy-bot Search and destroy, etc. It doesn’t matter what the cost of a computer is, if it gets hammered by viruses and malware right away, it will be so slow to operate you won’t want to use the internet and you’ll be buying a computer weekly! Just use the programs you see others recommending on this site to protect your computer and you’ll enjoy your internet experience. Good luck!

About as basic as you can get:
Pentium 200Mhz processor
32MB of memory
2GB HDD
CD-RW
modem/network card
4MB video card (ISA, PCI, or AGP)
Windows 95 or Windows 98
That will go on the internet and that’s about it. It will be a terrible computer compared to today’s standards, but it will work.
