The problem I have actually has to do only with the wireless portion of the computer. I'm not exactly sure if this is a probelm with the m11x, or if it's a problem wiht my router but everytime i try to load extra tabs on my laptop, it takes forever to load (and i usually only run 1-3 tabs at once). The thing is, I definitely know that it is not the CPU's problem, and when I checked the network usage under networking in the task manager, it just indicates that the network utilization is around 1-2% at best. surely the m11x can handle internet browsing with more than 1-3 tabs, as my macbook did before, but right now this thing is even slower than my netbook. Im just basically wondering if this has anything to do with dell's drivers as ive heard that htey have some problems especially with memory leaks. Has anyone ran into this problem? Im subscirbing to bell right now in canada nad my speed is at 16 Mbps, so I expect that it shouldnt be slow. However, i really think theres jus something wrong either with my router's settings (which is provided by bell) or smthn with the dirvers on the m11x. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading!

Check for interference (DW WLAN prog in your start menu, Diagnostics tab, Congestion, I have to click it twice) I found mine (in 802.11n) was very sensitive to what is quite a lot of non-wifi noise in channel 6-12 where I live. I moved the router channel to 2 and it's now much better.
I have Chrome with > 20 tabs open regularly.
Poor Internet (Wireless) Perf, smthn to do with Wirless drivers?
