It needs retiring for a newer model if you dont want to slow your connection.  I had no idea it was that old or a single core, I imagine that it is your computer capacity that is holding up your connection speed.  You can try upping the RAM but you might be throwing good money after bad

Hi mate,already upped the ram 1.2g.Still no good time for a new pc.

1.2Gb is borderline usable nowadays, unless your system integrator is very good at optimisation. I'd prefer to see a minimum of 2Gb for 32bit or 4Gb for 64bit

But the P4 and its associated chipset (at best, Intel 9xx series) is old. Certainly don't spend more on 'upgrades', put it towards a new machine instead. A 3rd (or 4th, prefereably) gen i3 (or i5 if funds allow) with a Series 7 chipset should see you through another 3-5 years .  I wouldn't recommend an i7 unless you had a specific need.

TB do you mind me asking,how much would.A 3rd or 4th gen i5 be with series 7 chipset.And would pc world know what i was talking about. .Dean

Depends on the rest of the spec. I just bought 2 new tills for my bro, about £400 each, without screens, although they were business class machines
