Poker sites in general are such a small an application ( except PKR ) for your computer to run the ram that you have really should not be a problem.
It is much more likely to be the internet provider that you are subscribed to and whether or not you are using wireless internet.
Many people play there poker at peak internet times ie. - 7-10pm which is when most internet providers are already struggling with demand on there systems. Put this together with the poker site you are using hitting there peak aswell at this time and i believe that is the most probable reason for any glitches we may be suffering.
Knocking background software off will help at your end ( for your connection speed ) but if your provider tops out, so to speak problems will persist.
As for Ipoker, yes i agree with the occasional problem there but it is definatley getting better than when they first merged the sites.

Get some RAM. It"s not expensive and the difference is VERY noticeable.
How much memory do you actually have (or have you forgotten)?

No, I"m just too embarrassed to say.
The problem is that I figure if I"m going to upgrade it, I might as well go straight to the maximum possible - 4Gig - and that doesn"t quite fit into my budget just yet. It is definitely on the cards though.

If you have 512KB, and are running a poker client and pokertracker, then yes, you will struggle.

If you"re looking at upgrading RAM and don"t mind buying online, go to www.crucial.com/uk and run their Scan My System feature. It will tell you what you currently have, will tell you what your motherboard can handle and will give you recommendations and prices of the best upgrades available. I use it all the time to buy RAM for clients. Folk are starting to bin their 256MB and 512MB PCs in frustration when £40 for 1GB RAM can be all they need to turn it into a speedy system again.
If your XP / Vista PC is fully up to date with Windows Updates, runs Internet Security software (hopefully not the crap and power-hungry Norton), and you want to run poker tracker software, I"d recommend you run at least 1.5GB.
Also, wired connections are more reliable than wireless. Wireless can experience delays and frequent connection difficulties (I don"t even play wirelessly on my highest-spec laptop).
