I have a DSL connection as well and notice that during peak internet times it's somewhat slower even with my computer (and I have a computer with a stupid expensive PCI Express SLI Capable Video Card, 2GB of very low latency gaming ram, a 10,000 RPM SATA WD Raptor Hard Drive, and a huge Front Side Bus on the Processor), I mainly use the internet later at night so it's usually really fast and doesn't stutter at all.

Have you noticed the same problems at times when internet usage would be lower (locally), like very early morning or late at night?

I one of those crazies that stood in line at Staples from 3:00am black Friday to get a new dual processor notebook with Vista for my kid.  They also had 2G of memory for about $68 so I installed that since everyone says it needs the extra memory.  What a pig.  I have half a mind to reformat and install XP.

I should have been more clear, I certainly did not mean Vista instead.

Hey Rick,

baby step=more RAM

P4's suck, get a pentium D at a min, or better yet a core 2 duo.

here's a link to compare processors doing different activities.  Also the cheapest RAM out right now is DDR2, if you building a new system on a budget get something that runs DDR2 and put in two GB.
