internet is SLOW

[TeckEnthusiast]

i have installed osx86(iAtkos 5i 10.5.5) on my pc. when i open safari, it takes some time to load. When i use firefox(on windows) it loads normally. So i know the problem is within mac osx. what can i do?

ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANX IN ADVANCE.

Does this problem appear only while using Safari ? Have you tried FireFox or Opera for Mac OS X ? Try those and tell if the problem is present only on Safari, or on all browsers.

I cant try those other browsers because i cant download them.When i try and download them i only get 2KB of transfer rate. I show be getting 156KB. So i cant download them. ANY SUGGESTIONS.

Download them to a thumbdrive, then install

It could be useful if you say what method you use to connect to the internet?
If its through a network card the brand and model and if you have a working and speedy local network working could be useful too.

internet is through ethernet

it would be way more helpful if you told us what the Ethernet card is...

Eg. Intel PRO VE 100(my ethernet card)
