Web browsing on an 030 really isn't fun unless you just visit text pages.  It's nice for using IRC and such but not browsing.

You need RTG to get any enjoyment, the only option that will go inside the wedge case is the Blizzard PPC & BVision cards, I'm selling a set over at Amibay:

http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=36240 :banana:

The BPPC was upgraded with the latest mask 060 and this card can run up to 72mhz* on 060 and runs at 330mhz for the PPC, with the PPC you can use WarpDT to load the images from PPC and this helps again to speed things up for the WWW.  

Still wont beat a £50 PC though :laugh1:

*With the BVision Graphics Card attached you will be limited to 60-66mhz from the 060 side.

Even though I'm selling this I wouldn't recommend you buy for Internet usage, even this which is the highest spec you can fit inside a wedge case will leave you disappointed.  You could run AWB on OS4.1 Classic with this kit, but even that is too slow to enjoy!

Another idea for you would be to mount a MiniITX PC inside an A1200 or A500 case and use a Keyrah & emulation
