Family XPS 400 Issues

Hey!
Our XPS 400 has been experiencing some terrible slowing issues and internet issues.
We have an SBC Yahoo DSL line that used to require us to log in before using the internet. Now, using Internet Explorer 8, it doesn't require the log-in, and internet use has been strange-ified. Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes you can only access sites through a Google search. We want to fix this problem, but fixing is hard when the computer lags like a [put favorite insult here].
We want to put in some memory to make opening the start menu a milasecond task, not a minute task. I found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098 and I think it's more than enough to get us by. If you don't think this'll work, post a different link. Or, if you can figure out what the problem is, POST.

OMG My stepdad loves you now... the opendns worked like a charm. We found some wierd MSN thing that was set as the primary connection while we were in the control panel, so that helped too.

It's so much faster....but still not fast as it's like 8 yrs. old
