    So I couldn't wait for Leopard's release....

    .... and with the Mrs. taking up all the waking hours on the only laptop we have, I made probably one of the most impulsive decisions I've ever made and ended up getting a Sony Vaio last Saturday. (Well I also need it a shit load for the hosting).

    This thing is pretty neat, great looking, Core 2 Duo T7100 (1.8 GHZ processor), 2 gig ram, 200 GB HD, Wireless B/G/N, Vista Home Premium (I'm about to get to my bitch fest here in a minute) built in Camera, Dual Layer DVD Burner, for $1350.

    I uninstalled the mounds of bloatware that this crap came with and man the Internet transfer speeds have taken an ass kicking for some reason. I can barely get past 50kb/sec and my XP Notebook on the same network slides by 300kb/sec with no problems.

    Anyone have any ideas / links what I can try to my web speeds back up ? I googled around for 4 hours yesterday but to no avail.

      Install the drivers for your network adaptors?

          yea I upgraded to the latest ones from Intels site but no avail. I googled around like mad and seems a majority of the people who had issues with slow internet was because of MacAfee. Mine doesnt even have MacAfee, it only had Norton and I remove it even before I went on the net.

              Did your Sony come with its own software to manage your wireless connection? IIRC, notebacks like Sony or Dell have a button on their notebooks to enable/disable wireless connectivity and that in turn, toggles the software. Perhaps installing that component from the Sony setup discs might help? Assuming there's some proprietry way that Sony is handling its wireless network adaptor?

                  well its got the 5ghz / wireless N chipset software and I completely turned if off but no luck. Believe it or not, this thing came with ZERO discs. I'm pretty pissed off and will call Sony this week and see if I can get some sort of backup discs.

                  So to answer the Q, I'll have to double check about the wireless button but I've disabled the software hoping it would make the diff, unfortunately nada.

                      Shouldn't it come with a set of restore discs? How else are you gonna re-install the Sony bloatware if you accidentally deleted them or formatted the hdd?

                                      Vaio's are hands down the sexiest lap tops out there...if such a thing can exist.
                                      It's never too late to become the person you always thought you would be.

                                                          I know Mike, I was really looking to join the Mac club this year but at the same time I needed something to work on the servers when I was at home even more.... and esp during the weekends and it was becoming increasingly impossible with Sugana's school.

                                                          Hopefully I will make another impulsive Mac purchase next summer. Sorry to disappoint you dude.

                                                          I won't be back until next Tuesday, so if Get Carter is the correct answer, I would appreciate of someone else posts a new cap for me
