I have an Inspiron 570 desktop with an AMD Athlon X4 645 and I was wondering why my internet connection from my router downstairs is so bad compared to my other electronics (iPhone, Laptop, etc.) Please help. My internet speed takes approximately 3 min to open a basic webpage like google or Youtube. Thank you!

Can you move the PC closer to the router? If so, try it near it and see what the speeds are. If they're much better, then you're too far from your router, and either need a better router, wireless adapter, or to use an alternate solution, such as powerline.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Thanks for posting this mate, I've just gone from 18MB/s downloads on Steam to over 40MB/s. I suggest everyone use this method, the guy also has a guide for increasing wireless signal! I'm going to try that later after I run to the store and get a metal wisk! (one of the required items)
