My browser is slow. It loads pages slowly and sometimes not at all. I've restarted it and used it in safemode but no difference. How can I speed it up?

Is it the browser program that is slow or the speed a web page is displayed.

Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/
in order to check the integrity of your RAM?

You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.


Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ?

If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file.
