There must be something on your PC slowing it down ... in my case it's noticably faster with Vista.

Have you installed any network relatated or communication software not compatable with Vista ?

Is all your hardware properly recognized by Vista ?

let me know,

mabey because there is a glitch in it on somthing...
Are you doing wireless, cable, dsl, or modem?

1. Poor network driver support for your network card. This is unlikely as most driver issues are an "all or nothing" scenario. I don't think it would be degraded performance.

2. Has it ever gone as fast as you would expect since you installed Vista? It may be a specific network setting that you had set in your old version of Windows and haven't set since you installed Vista. For example, you may need to set a strange duplex/speed setting on your network card. Every ISP I have ever seen requires you to have the duplex and speed set to "auto". But if you were playing around with the network settings and set the speed to "100" or something, that would cause issues.
