My neighbors computer says it has 512 speed is there a way for it to go faster she has high speed internet

Audio is easy...requires little ram to operate. Video today needs 2 GIGABITS or more for VIDEO. A lot depends in the Motherboard Processor also. If it is old, the main processor is no doubt slow. High speed internet is faster than some computer speeds and thus the computer is trying to buffer (catch up) which causes means conditions to occur. Lag time with Video is one problem.
Windows operating system is another. Win 8-10 are ok, but older OS's are slow. THEN we have a Video Card problem. Old cards require new drivers to keep up with changes. Some old Video is slow because the VIDEO RAM is too slow and old. Solution = a New 2018 Computer

The type of documents displable on the internet contributes towards the speed capacity. Where for example word documents or email texts are displayable expediently than motion picture and videos. Consider the number of Medias displayable of the computer at a time to improve the internet speed. For example, display a site at a time and uninstalled unwanted program hinder on the computer background to make faster media displays. Usually computer that are slow to display programs are confused with internet pages that load slowly. A slow computer is due to insufficient memory to display caused by installing high capacity gaming software's or density chatting bundle software's. Once a computer gets video definitions gets over tasked, freezing is expertise directly impeding the internet networked capacity? It is also possible to have several devices sharing the computers networked internet connections. For example, the computer depending on the media cards magnitude can only allow an amount of bandwidth per time. Once connecting to an internet provider that provides high speed least makes benefit since the computers resources are least capable of attaining full capacity from signal provider. Consider evaluating the computes graphic capacities, also storage spaces available for hold sites downloaded from networks contribute towards faster speed.

ping is not dependent on internet speed. Some kinds of internet have higher ping than others. You might need to change your isp

Dialup phone lines usually only transmit a minimum of 8 Baud. NetZero's high speed (5X) faster is done by caching pages you have already visited, not actially running internet but loading pages faster on your computer. Check your modem setting, 56k, 112K are normal speed setting to connect. Check your actual connection speed, 28.8 is probably all that you are getting on dialup.

The faster speed is the slowest device on the network.
YES, YES, YES
yo need RAM upgrade. for what the CPU is running (1.8-2.00GZ).
Since I don't know what operating system you are running. upgrade the RAM to 2GB should definitely spped up your Internet Access.

Its better to have a 1MB cache for a faster speed of yor computer....

Hope that helps.........

My pc is really slow

Unless you have a jump drive and high speed internet access at the library you might be able to download the patch files that way.

I'm sorry can you explaun better?
