[QUOTE="hclincha, post: 279317, member: 19887"] Unfortunately a dialup connection will give you a max connection speed of 56kbps. For the record, that's a really slow connection. It should be possible to watch videos on Youtube, but it'll be really slow. You may have to download the newest Flash player to able to watch them though. If you're going to spend a lot of time surfing, I'd recommend getting a broadband connection. It'll make life so much easier, and then you can download all sorts of programs from the internet without having to wait an exorbitant amount of time for the download to finish. I have no idea where you are, and what's available to you, but for what it's worth I've got a 5Mbps connection (about 90 times dialup), that costs around 66 USD per month. The 2 GB of memory won't do anything to your connection speed, but you'll be able to do some heavy multitasking with that amount of memory. [/QUOTE]
