I think that a newer architecture 32 bit intel cpu would be my best bet. This may be 64 bit but it's old as piss and uses older slower DDR.

A 32 bit CPU is something you pull out of an "old parts" box, not something you buy. It was ten years ago, in 2001, that Linux started running 64 bit. Eight years ago, in 2001, AMD made 64 bit cheap.
With 10-20 tabs open and however many other applications, plus a couple GB just to boot Winblows, your slowness is almost surely a RAM issue. To be faster, you want more RAM. In order to use more RAM, you need an architecture from this century, a 64 bit architecture.
Somehow this reminds the of the people still installing Apache 1.3
nine years after 2.0 was released. Then they want software upgrades within their decade old version of the OS, presumably so pages load better in Windows 95 browsers.
