For $500, go with an iMac G5 with a webcam (past Rev A). Set her up Firefox and gmail. I got my mom on a similar setup and she's much happier with it over her prior PC.
I would also disable all auto-updates. Firefox, Apple etc. You can do these remotely once every 3-4 months.
She loves iChatting with the grandkids as well.
PC's tend to get in the way, especially as they require more security than Macs.
