Hello,
I just installed a new graphics card for my computer (Nvidia Geforce 800) It takes up about 320mb on my computer and I have 2gb of ram installed. I also have DSL connection but recently my internet has been running slow. As soon as I installed the card my internet was slower.

I'm just wondering if the graphics card is causing this and do I need to get more ram? How much more ram do I need for my internet to preform normally again?

YOUR GRAPHIC CARD, DOESNT USE UP ANY BANDWIDTH. call your ISP provider if your experiencing slow internet. adding a graphic card allows your computer to use less of your RAM. before it up those 2GB to do things like playing games, now you have discrete allocated ram for gaming, or things like aero in vista.

Depends- when is it exactly slow? is it while surfing the internet, or when running programs?Slow internet happens for various reasons.The most effective method for speeding up a comp where possible is just format the hard disk. Also check to see if you have any useless programs. Uninstall them. Run disk cleanup. Check to see what you have in your temp. Generally have a clear up of your hard disk.If your internet is slow, you should scan your computer for viruses and spyware using suitable programs(for example- avast anti virus or spybot). If you still experience the same problem I would advise you to delete the computer after backing it up, and then installing a new copy of Windows. if your problem is with programs running slowly- I can advise you to download this software, which can extremely help- CCleaner..Follow all these & check your internet speed here scanmyspeed.com it will sounds better
