Increaseing your RAM speed will increase your internet speed
Your video card takes a certain amount of RAM and just to run the Windows programs ion the background takes awhole lot more. and then put in a firewall and that is alot. I have dial up with windows XP and 256mb of RAM. I upgraded the RAM only 256 more and increased my internet speed almost double...

Usually updating a computer will have NO effect on Internet speed.
Usually the only way to increase speed is to buy higher speed or get on a different provider.
You may increase your proformance if you double check to see if you don't have any helper programs(adware,updater, worms) and get rid of them or turn them off.
Also make sure you stop popup and every once in a while you may have to reboot your router.

Updating your ram is not going to make your internet fast or updating your hard drive. Certain software might run faster but thats it.
If your browser is slow its cause might be a browser hijack or spyware or even possible virus.
Get a good spyware cleaner, also make sure you have a firewall.
The best option is to download firefox browser www.firefox.com which is alot faster and then internet explorer.

A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.
Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php
Now lets clean up your registry.
