That is a problem of your ISP, not your memory.
Check your avaliable hard disk space, if its 10% free or more, youre ok. If its not, time to erase some old games.
Press windowskey and PAUSE BREAK , go to PERFORMANCE and check System Resources. If its above 80% its ok. if its below then you most likely got a lot of crap loading upon windows startup.
The only way to increase your connect speed is to get a better provider or a cable modem (or a T1 if you toejam $100 bills *grin*)
Any other probs, let me know eh ? =)
