My computer is plenty fast and I have no problem outside of the internet. I
am using a cable connection, have 256 RAM and 133 MHz, but at times the
internet is so slow it takes forever.

Does anyone know why?
 
could be variety of reasons.
ISP might be having trouble.
traffic on the net where you are surfing.
when this happens I just shutdown and wait
for later time. gets faster at the later time.
 
If you have 128 MB or less its going run slow ...XP likes
more memory.

If it is truly a new computer, consider contacting the
manufacturer
for warranty work. Consider reloading.

Slow response can simply mean the servers are overloaded
or there's a lot of
traffic. Given the recent virus activity which has
triggered a lot of
automated messages being sent to various servers, it is
possible that this
is the issue and not much you can do on your end.
