    Turning off the QOS made a *BIG* difference for me. I had forgotten about this after not having run XP since I gave my laptop to my girlfriend and only running OS X on an iMac.

    Anyways, after I switched off QOS on the properties section of the wireless it went from downloading off of newsgroups from 200-300 kbytes/second to 800-900 kbytes per second. Gerneral surfing and torrent downloading is also significantly faster.

    I have had nothing but trouble with the driver that windows installs. QAS helps. When I keep the stock on 7.6.0.224, and I DONT turn off QOS, I dont have any problems, and my speed is 15mbit down. I am just going to steer clear of all non-acer provided drivers.
