Will increasing my laptop's memory from 2 to 4 GB make ESPN3 work better?

I have an Acer Aspire 722 and the fastest ATT DSL available, but I still get a lot of freeze ups on ESPN3.

But your biggest holdup is your processor and graphics subsystem.

I had the fastest (read: only) speed DSL available in my area and it was slow as hell. I ditched it and pay $5 more per month for Comcast and its 20x faster at least. Anyway, unless it's dramatically faster than the ATT DSL I had, my guess is it's your internet connection, not your computer.

I think it's the int. conn. too. But I'm trying to do something to make it work better. I have trouble with youtube also, but videos will play most of the time.

I was paying extra to get the fastest DSL and it was still pretty slow. I switched to comcast and there is no comparison. I make these statements never running a speed test or knowing the real difference between the two, just from personal use of both.

the watch ESPN feed is HD isn't it? Which requires a lot of bandwidth. Use THIS to see what kind of connection you're truly getting. I'm curious as to why my upload is faster than my download right now....

but it actually is a variable stream based on bandwidth.
