And to answer your question...

Basically anything 030 and higher will give you a big performance boost and allow OS 3.5 / 3.9 to run (with a RAM expansion, but most ACC cards have them built in).

Try looking for a Phase 5 Blizzard 1230IV ... (Ask Ryu, he say's they are the most stable a1200 cards ever! (so do lots of other people here)

More speed? Try maybe an 040 / 060 CPU instead, but they tend to cost more cash. Other makes include Apollo, DCE, etc.

Internet access without PPC is pretty poor remember, an 060 will handle it OK but dont expect anything like what a PC would offer. I always found it best to network the Amiga up simply for getting files back and forth, web-browsing always left better up to a PC or mac imho, but if your prepared to try it out with 16 colours,,, Go for it!
