    Hello,

    I have installed W7 64-bit ultimate on my t60p with 4 Gig memory.
    After installation I have updated the drivers using the system update for Windows 7.

    Everything works like a charm - really zippy, graphics is awesome!

    At home I connected to my wireless network the signal strength is indicated excellent, however, it is slow as molesses. I have a higher speed DSL connection and my son's laptop (XP) connected to the same network runs just fine.

    Anyone could give an advice on this?

    Thanks,
    Peter

    Install TP Access Connections instead of using Bill's WIFI software.

    Bill....:Got it. :)

    On the other hand, formy old XP installation I had Access Connection and I was not too happy about it. So I through it out and used Bill's. For XP it worked better for me.
