Is Internet connection speed depends on system configuration?

Hi Friends,

I have already mentioned the problem in the Title, I"ll be more specific to it.
I have purchased my PC in the year 2001, so that i have very old motherboard and processor, now I have extended the capacity of my RAM and the hard drive to the 512MB and 80GB respectively.
And also taken the internet connection at my home which has the 512kbps speed and the service provider has assure me 4:1 ratio but the problem is that i feel it takes little more time to download and access the page.
I am expecting only that much speed which other people get who has the same system configuration.
So,I am wondering that System configuration affects the Internet accessing speed.


Thanks in Advance

Ofcourse not, cause it totally depends on the service that your getting from you ISP, most of the time there might be a fluctuating rate of internet speed that you might be getting from your service provider.

Thanks for your reply friend,

But I still have some confusion in my mind.i.e when internet connection attached to the system does it check for motherboard, processor capacity to download the items from the Internet.
