Getting up to speed 3
Your computer and the internet
The power of your computer can greatly affect performance – if you’ve an older, less
powerful processor, you may not be getting the best out of your broadband speed
and might want to consider upgrading. Having lots of windows open and lots of users
accessing the internet at the same time on the same broadband line can also affect
performance. And remember, if lots of people are accessing a web site, the site might
not be able to send information to you as fast as you can receive it.
