    I upgraded to vista and the experience on speed is good except for internet, Im using IE 7 and is a pain in the neck..It is 10 times slower than when I had XP, which is weird cuz like I said all the other programs run very smooth, I have 2 gig of ram, dual core processor and Vista Premium, but the internet experience sucks...it takes 2 minutes sometimes to load a regular page...anybody going through the same problem?

    Hmm... maybe your network adapter driver isn't working properly... or it could be outdated. Try Windows Update and/or check if your network adapter's site has a Vista driver... other than that, I have no idea. Why are you using IE anyway?!? Especially IE7! Use Firefox.
