Get Started
Would a higher-end video card speed up internet browsing?
I understand that a faster modem/router/NIC/processor
You may ask what is slow about my browsing? I think it's all the ads waiting to populate. I've used AdBlock from Chrome before, but it seemed like it did a decent job of blocking ads, but that process itself kept my browsing slow.
Other thoughts:
1. Disabling cookies?
2. Different browser besides Chrome?
3. Store internet cache in a RAM-disk?
4. Different packet size in my modem?
Thanks... (now using Windows 7-64, Chrome, and a $10 video card.)
