I would advice the new Sony Clié 650C. It has a 66MHz processor. The Sony NR70
and NR70V also have, but they are more expensive.
It does not have wireless, but if your mobile has an IR port you can use it as
the modem and the Clié 650C as the browser/email computer.
If you want wireless in the PDA itself, then you need a Tréo, either monochrome
or color (color is much better to play chess). With 16Mb you are prepared for
the next generation of Tiger for Palm with big opening book and big hash tables.
