I believe Linksys also makes USB networking kit since I've known
someone who opted to setup a simple home network via USB.
Is it the simplest way? Sounds like it.

All things being equal, there are generally minimal differences in different
CPUs when it comes to how fast it 'feels'.
The bottleneck is usually the hard drive. I've actually seen a setup
with over 1 gig of ram and the guy loaded the OS onto the ram so it
would run faster. Was a pretty sweet setup. But if you begin to do
computational intensive stuff, you'll notice the difference in CPUs.
