I have Samsung Tablet with 2gb ram. I am continuosly having to clear the ram because it fills up fast and the internet slows down!

Is it because it has naff amount of ram?

2gb certainly is small but it shouldn't cause the internet to slow down. I would consider going down the custom ROM route, they usually are better RAM usage/management wise especially compared to Samsung's skin.

It's basically like replacing Windows on your PC with a different OS. In this case, it's just moving to a different flavour of Android. Bare in mind doing this will mean you will lose DRM (so no HD in Netflix for example) and potentially not passing SafetyNet (which is needed for things like banking apps), but if you don't need either of those things then it's worth trying out.
