Answer» Hi.
OK. I recently got an N-speed router. Found out that one of my network adapters was a bit dodgy so I got a 150 speed netgear MICRO-adapter. Now. I installed it on my windows 7 MACHINE - it was only picking up about 30-60 mbps from a 150 speed router and running rather slowly, so I tried using the adapter from my XP desktop. Works fine, picking up the full 150mbps (its a 150mbps adapter).
The strange thing is, I put the micro adapter into the XP machine, just to see if it would work (otherwise I would have to take it back to the shop). While its still only getting 30mbps it is running like an ABSOLUTE dream, whereas it was running at the same speed on windows 7 and it appeared very slow.
My QUESTION is, what EXACTLY is going on here? Is XP just THAT much better at handling networks?!
Cheers.
Feenix
