Adding memory will not improve web surfing all that much. It may improve overall system performance slightly since the OS may not have to swap data from memory to the harddrive. If your harddrive is rather full, that will hit your performance a bit or even excessive temp files. You should be able to see the RAM seen by the OS by right clicking MyComputer and goto properties.

Spoiler :

My thinking was i could go from web sit to web sit and not have to delete previous sites to keep up my speed (not overall connection speed)
