I have a new dell computer, I recently upgraded ram to 2 GB and upgraded Videocard to a 256, when you download video type stuff off internet it is slow. This has Highspeed internet connected to it. Gaming speed isn't slow just internet video.
internet trouble?
or
This computer has 1500 songs downloaded on it?
would any of these cause it to be slow?
Any advice?

my two thoughts you need to check first are the actual speed of ur connection and do a syware sweep with a good app ....
try this for ur speed test:

does this happen all the time? Did you order the slowest high speed internet option from your ISP? If your using cable, then maybe there is A LOT of people using it around you. Are you downloading the entire Internet while trying to watching your video--which will slow down your speed.
Right now I'm assuming your using Windows. Windows allocate 20% of the bandwidth for Windows stuff. You can disable this. And you can adjust the MTU. You would have to look that up if you do not know how.

okay the first thing you have to check is: maybe the 1500 songs you have in that computer installed maybe will cause the memory to slow down, you see the computer has some devices that when you maybe install songs or games they might have contained Virus, and that will cause it very slow, to get rid of that add a new folder to your computer in there add all your important stuff I mean VERY important! then when you do that erase all your non sense stuff then make a short test to see if the computer is a little more faster, the more things you take out the computer the faster it will get. go to this link provided below.
