I agree that internet speed is the greatest defining factor in speed but the memory and processor speed will help significately. A PC works best when resources are available to it like memory. Also cleaning the PC from swap files and performing a defrag would help speed.

My son bought a computer many years ago with 1 GB of memeory. I tried to use it and it was painfully slow. An upgrade to 6 GB was performed and a techie friend cleaned some junk off his PC and now it is much faster without an internet speed upgrade.
