how to speed up my mac

Buy a memory card :)

It has slowed a little in connectivity.

Internet connectivity? If so, how is it connected? Dial-up; DSL; cable modem?

Are you connecting to your modem wired or wirelessly?

There are sites that measure your internet speed so you can compare to what your ISP claims to be giving you. Try:

http://www.speedtest.net/

or

http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/

If you use the second one, the Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta servers will display closest to your best possible speed.

Have yo uinstalled any anti-virus software or a one of those "I'll clean your Mac" programs? They are poison to good performance.

Adding RAM will not help an internet connectivity problem. However a call to your ISP may. Just ask to speak with a tech who knows that "Mac" is more than hamburgers. Many ISP techs are so stuck in Windows they can hardly function outside that dungeon.

What would that do to help?

Check for reasons for a slow running machine.
