I'm on a friends computer and it is incredibly slow connecting to some websites. Is there anything I can do to speed it up for them? It is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2.30 ghz, 894 MB of RAM, with windows vista home premium. If that helps.

That computer has "no memory," since you really need 2GB of RAM (~2000 MB) or more for Windows, otherwise it will just sit there for a while before finishing anything.

Not to mention it probably has some pre-installed internet security suite that would slow down even the fastest machine.
