i have two hard drives in my laptop one with XP and the other (a 7200 rpm
drive) with Vista Ultimate. After turning off services i dont need, etc.
having a pentium m 2.0ghz processor and 2gb of memory, i too have noticed
connectin to website being considerably slower, i bootedback to XP after not
using t for a few weeks and couldnt believe how much faster.

also, im finding that in both firefox and ie 7 under vista, i cant see part
of people's myspace pages thati can see with no problem on XP Pro. I have
flash, activex, and sun java all installed.

What Network adaptor do you have fitted?
If it's Realtek RTL8139/810X Family Host Ethernet NIC, check the driver
version.
If that is dated 2007 try rolling back to Version 5.640.630.2006.
It worked for me and hope it does for you to

I made a huge mistake buying vista, STICK WITH XP! or youll be pulling your
hair out.I upgraded 2 of the systems on my network and left the 3rd as XP and
even though its a 6 year old system it SMOKES vista in browsing. I love the
disconect window that says "your most likely not connected to the net,check
your internet connection" what a joke.
Disabling the phishing filter does NOTHING, in fact it makes it even slower,
if you can beleive that!

Microsoft, do us a favor and give us a refund on this terminably ill software.

if you try it, it would be nice if you report back on whether this works
for you

NOTE: not everybody has a problem with Vista and broadband because
people are connecting with different routers, etc.

Well, thanks for the attemp. It actually may have made things worse, but one

I stand by the decision that Dell and Microsoft are complicit in their
thievery.

FYI I too have an 8 MB internet connection! It is provided by Comcast in my
area. That sir is an AVERAGE speed and it is sometimes higher than that. My
upload speed is faster than a lot of dsl download speeds. All that being
said, i have exactly the same problem. Using an Emachines system with an
athlon64 in a dual boot mode, the machine can achieve the above speeds
booting under XP but at dialup speeds (around 400kbs) under Vista 64. I've
seen many blogs about this relating to various network settings and drivers
and nothing seems to eleviate the problem. Any help would be greatly
appreciated and passed on to all V64 users.
