    I just got my SZ450 and I was disapointed that I only got 3 bars even when I was directly next to my wireless router. Then when I went to another room down the hall with both doors closed I still had 3 bars. Is it that the meter is not accurate? Does anyone else have this problem?

    my sz240p got full strength wireless signal when i had WinXP on it, but when I loaded Vista it showed 3 bars, sometimes 2, sometimes 4 - with it sitting in the same exact place.

    i'm not sure if it's not accurate, or vista is just sucking the life out of the wireless card and making the signal weak ;)
