You need to upgrade your network card

Answer 3

do you really think that its your internet connection is slow in vista?

if YES, tried checking the settings of your router , for port forwarding

also, in most cases, XP computers are faster than VISTA (if they have the same hardware specifications) vista tends to eat up 60-80% of your RAM thus causing slow processing.
