My Compaq laptop has a configuration of Pentium dual core , 2GB ram, 160 gb. Im using a reliance wireless broadband connection and the speed is very very very slow! . When checking out the wireless device on other Laptops the speed is considerably fast. Im not expertised in this field so might not use technical terms. Do I have to upgrade the speed of my Laptop? To what extent, so that my net speed is fast?

Net speed has nothing to do with the speed of your laptop.

It’s probably a virus on your laptop if it’s considerably slowing down your internet speed.

Run a decent anti-virus.

If that doesn’t work, contact your ISP

How do I upgrade my laptop to increase the internet speed?
How do I lower the ping on my computer and increase my internet speed?

I use a linksys router to connect to xanadoo. Then my laptop connects wireless to my router. I think I am just barely to slow. How do I increase the speed?

a wireless connection is always going to go slower then a wired connection, but everything on your side of the wire depends on the wire you use(for example your ethernet cable) has a minimal affect on your connection, on the other side of the router (that is your internet provider) i assume that is xanadoo effects how fast you can send data to and receive data from web servers. but for your actual computer i recommend clearing your temporary files and cookies and such often, and making sure that you are running fairly new hardware

About 18 months ago I purchased a dell laptop, which I now hate with a passion. It overheats and shuts down after about thirty minutes of use. I would like to purchase a new laptop for gaming purposes while avoiding the same problem. I am not interested in a Mac or building my own computer. I am going to use this laptop primarily to play World of Warcraft. My budget is anything less than $1000. What provider/brand would you recommend?

a widows vista or windows 7 with a inhanced gaming card or buy a normak vista and or windows 7 and buy a seperate inhavced gaming card (gaming card=graphics card) whitch the people at the store will put in your new compure for you, this will add up to about 700-800 dollars
