Answer 2

The easiest thing to do and to guarantee high speeds, drop your DSL service and switch to cable high speed internet. Most DSL speeds top off at 900 kps...cable high speed (depending on your cable provider) starts off at 1.5 Mbps or 3.0 Mbps and up to 6.0 Mbps in some markets.

Yes your PC slows down because of lack of RAM (memory). Check your mother board specs to see how much you have and how much you CAN upgrade to.

Answer 3

I don't think that your computer's Internet connection can slow down if you have a lack of memory on the actual computer itself.

Answer 4

Set your Virtual Memory, to the highest level "4092MB".

To do this in XP, go to the "Control Panel" and click on "System". Then click the "Advanced" tab. Then Click "Performance Settings". Click another "Advanced Tab" and change the "Virtual Memory" to 4096MB, or at least 3000MB. Then, "Apply" the changes. Everyone should do this for better performance! This is Hard Drive Space that is reserved as Memory, for your system. Make sure you have enough space left (1024MB=1GB)
