It does this using IE or Fire Fox.
For what it's worth, I've noticed that later versions of the Firefox browser have trouble with some Websites, especially streaming video. I have recently installed a lightweight browser, Midori, for those situations. Content unwatchable in FireFox is just fine in Midori.
There are several fine and free lightweight browsers available. I run FireFox and Google Chrome most of the time but it's nice to have Midori at hand.
I don't think it's necessary to get a new computer but if that machine has the capability of handling more RAM, I suggest installing another 4 gigabytes. Used RAM is inexpensive on eBay. Sometimes I pay more for the shipping than the memory modules. For $10 or $15, you can double your memory. That will be the most effective upgrade.
Download and run the free CPUID to get a picture of what is now installed.
