How can I tell what's running slow… my internet connection or the actual computer? This might sound like a dumb question, but oh well. Basically, I am trying to determine where I need to chock out the money on—- faster internet connection or an upgraded computer, etc. Please help. Thanks.

If you have to ask, then most likely it's either your Internet connection or BOTH.

First of all, run a scan with your anti-spyware,lots of spyware can slow it down very much.Not knowing what your internet speed is now, it's a little hard to determine which should be upgraded.You didn't say if you have dial-up, DSL, cable or how you connect to the internet.

Go to speedtest.net and run a speedtest on your computer this will tell you how fast your internet connection is, If that seems ok then look at the computer itself. Unless your are running a lot of games with advanced graphics or do a lot of photo editing my bet is on the internet connection. Most people don't use a much of their computer's capabilities.
