How do I increase the speed of my computer?

Question

I've done system restore. I've gotten rid of anything harmful and space consuming programs. I've went to the control panel and went through the 'Free up space on hard disk' where it got rid of everything, leaving my computer having virtually all of it's space. I've made sure on the task manager that Firefox was running on real time (faster than high priority). And as we speak, I'm defragmenting. WHY IS IT, WHEN I CHECK ON SPEEDTEST.NET THAT MY COMPUTER HAS ONLY 44 KB/S!??? It's supposed to be 1500 kb/s! Why is this happening to me!!!!

Its not the Hard Drive space. Its your memory (memory is not space). Your computer is probably having lots of programs running at once. You are probably using Windows, so on the bottom right of the page, you see icons. those are runing applications. Right click on the program icons you are not using, and click EXIT. (To see all, click on the < and they will appear for a period of time. Close unnesesary ones. To not do this every time, get some sort of software.
