Hello,
I am confused. I have a 2010 HP Elite desktop computer, (1-7 processor, 9 GBs RAM, windows 7) hooked up to a broadband modem. I have a wireless router for my laptops, but my desktop is wired. Now, my friend just bought a inexpensive Compaq laptop (single processor, 2 GBs RAM, window 7) and it's running through the same wireless router I have in my house. When I try to download a file, say 80 MBs, it takes my computer 5-7 minutes..she can download the same file in 1 minute. We have the same ISP and have the same plan (speed). Why can she download so much faster? Also, when I am loading a page with a lot of pictures, like 80-100 jpgs, hers will load every one, while I will have some that I have to open in a separate tab. Can anyone tell me why this is?
