If that's a 2.2GHz "Celeron" CPU, (instead of a "Dual Core", "Core 2 Duo", or "i"-whatever), it's going to be a bit slow. The "Celeron" is the bottom of the pile but, it's fine for general surfing, word processing and downloading.

Any PC you buy today will be well-equiped to handle the basic tasks you mentioned.
As for what exact impact the speed a CPU ("Ghz") has on the computers performace, for your purposes there will be basically no decernable difference between your CPU and a CPU twice as fast, since your activities won't heavily tax the CPU.
Also, as a side note, all but one of the Celeron-branded CPUs available on Newegg right now are dual-core. Since the transition away from the NetBurst microarchitecture, the Celeron series has become a competent budget CPU line, and they would still be more than powerful enough for basic tasks like web surfing and word processing.
