IPexpress
IPexpress is another utility that considerably improve your Internet
speed. IPexpress will eliminate the time consuming DNS lookup for getting the IP
addresses for frequently accessed servers. Also, with its Host Blocker feature
will prevent your computer to load
anything from the blocked servers (recommended to be used with advertise and
banner servers). IPexpress holds a local table of DNS-IP addresses and tell your
browser to check that table before asking the DNS at your ISP. Therefore there
is a local search without generating TCP/IP network traffic at all, and your
computer goes DIRECTLY to the server IP address!
(DNS lookups occur whenever you use URL for finding an Internet resource).

If you have Windows95/98 and less than 32 MB RAM or only 32MB RAM, you probably hear a lot of disk drive noise while surfing.
The reason is that the RAM is not sufficient and needs to move data to the hard drive continuously.
Close all other programs, don't use a RAMdisk and, ideally, install more RAM.TIP8: Open Multiple Windows
Often, the delay you experience is due to the servers that send you the pages.
But your modem and internet path could bring you more than one page at a time at a ridicule rate. You can browse with 3,4 or as many windows as you want !
Just right-click on the link you'd like to visit and choose Open in New Window. The added advantage is that you can still see the page you came from, which is pretty useful with links lists and search engines answers.TIP9: Control your cache
