   1. Max out your RAM -- it is cheap and easy, e.g.,  http://www.memorystock.com/memory/Hewlet...

   2. Reboot your computer DAILY AND MORE OFTEN SAY AT ANY EXTENDED BREAK and Restart your browser often to clean out caches, etc

   3. Do not leave up your IE or FireFox browsers when NOT in use, because of Memory Leakage

   4. Windows hard drive properties - One of the easiest ways to boost performance of your PC is to use some of the included Windows utilities. Start>Accessories>System Tools>, you will see multiple tabs. on the "General" tab, you should do a "Disk Cleanup". The disk cleanup is an automated tool that shows you items on your computer that could safely be removed.

   5. After doing the "Disk Cleanup", go to the "Tools" tab. Run a "Defragment".

   6. After the defragment, you should check your hard drives for errors by clicking the "Check Now" button. The error checking will require you to immediately reboot your computer before the error checking will start. Once your computer comes back into error checking mode, it takes a long time. Roughly, it will take 45 minutes to an hour

   7. With Start>Accessories>System Tools>Run>msconfig see what you have running at startup and other critical points

   8. Try to uninstall a program for every new one you install

Answer 3

Well there might be something wrong besides your internet. For example,

You could be infected with viruses and trojans. Download avast! antivirus and scan your system for trojans and other such. If it doesn't work I would suggest resetting it to factory settings.

Answer 4

Run a anti virus system, or try to free your hard-drive by erasing files.

If you are very desperate download new windows and erase your whole hard-drive.

Or buy a new processor if they are old, and buy higher memory RAM.

Hope my answer helped.

Answer 6

If they are the same computer than its probably just the wireless connection. No mater what, a wireless computer will always be slower than a straight ethernet plugged one. It usually isn't enough to notice, but there is definitely a performance drop. How old is the router or wireless card your using?
