Hi there. Just got a brand new Dell Inspiron 1705 with dual core 1.7, 1gb ram, 120gb hdd.

I am having a very tough time with vista.

I find the web browsing EXTREMELY frustrating, to the point of unworkable. I cannot a lot of the sites, and the site I CAN access - it is slow to the point of ridiculous.

Am I doing something wrong? I hope you good people can help me before I ship this thing back and ask them to put XP back on.

Edited to add that I am getting 100mbs just like my desktop, so the connection is fine. Plus it's fine when I browse "big" sites like ESPN, or NEW YORK TIMES. But the rest - very very painfully slow.

THanks.
