Possible Silly question. PLEASE ANSWER! :D

my pc has come into dire need of more RAM and itll be soon when i get it but my question is...

If you're at the stage where your pc is lagging and going slow due to lack of Ram, does this affect your browsing speed on your internet explorer?

I doubt it's the lack of RAM. How much RAM do you have anyway? You don't need much for internet. I can browse smoothly with 256MB.

It's the speed of your internet or web browser, that affects your browsing speed.

20 meg connection. something tells me that shouldnt be slow

and i have liek... 448mb i dunno.

That should be well enough to browse the internet. But if you're doing other stuff in the background, then definitely get more RAM.

But first, you should try removing spyware and what not, defragment your hard drive, and clean out anything that isn't necessary. That should clear up some things, to make your computer run a little faster.
