I doubt it. I have a 500 Mhz processor, 128 MB memory, and was having the
same problems. It was cured, sort of, when I complained and complained. They
replaced the modem and put me on a new domain. My downloads went from .225
Mbps to over 1.0 Mbps instantly. However, I'm finding that cable is very
dependent on traffic. During peak times the speed drops to half of maximum
or less.
