Internets

What would be the safest, fastest internet my computer is capable of? I currently have AOL 9.0 dial-up and it's slower than shit. Plus the computer is pretty slow when it comes to starting up and shutting down. (Windows XP)

Compaq

Intel(R)Celeron(TM)CPU
       1300MHz
1.29 GHz
128 MB of RAM

Should I install more RAM?

I'm sick of this "just get more ram!" bullshit. My 286 did almost as much functionality-wise as my current multi-ghz machine. Yeah, really. Sure, there was no multi-tasking, but I did the mostly the same things as I do today.
