Just to make a point on the original topic of this whole thread....

Latency is caused at the ISP level. Speeding up your computer will not help this. It may help dealing with large amounts of packets but it will improve your ping latency.

Open up a command/terminal prompt. Use either tracert(windows) or traceroute(linux and possibly mac?) to trace a path to something like google or even a graal server. You'll notice that the results will jump considerably when it hits the ISP level but will remain incredibly small at the LAN level.
