The answer can be "the fastest you can afford" or "it depends on what you want the computer to do."

Speed in computers (usually expresed as Ghz) is a measurement of how fast they can calculate. If you are buying a general purpose computer, buy what you can afford. If you have a special purpose in mind (a web server or a home server) then you can probably buy an older, less powerful computer that will meet your needs for considerably less money than a new computer.
