Thanks guys. I suppose it could be the cards, there was a good 3 or 4 months between purchases. If this is the case it is extremely lame... But hopefully it Isn't!!??

hi I have an 'up to' 2 megabyte internet connection to which two macbooks are connected via wifi. Each has a windows xp partition, from which i have found (from the wifi properties in the toolbar) that one runs at 108kbs/s, whereas the other only reaches 54kbs/s. The lag is really noticeable in the latter, even when just browsing webpages, and it often cuts out. I've tried all i can think of and am beginning to wonder whether there's some fine detail I'm overlooking. What is going on!!!??? My router is a netgear super wireless ADSL DG834GT I have a dynamic ip address My speedtest results are: macbook 1: download 1313 Kbps - upload 338 Kbps - ping 57ms macbook 2: download 543 Kbps - upload 312 Kbps - ping 54ms The connection on the mac partition of the slower macbook was as bad but has somehow resolved itself and is running at a similar speed to macbook 1 now. When connected directly to the router via ethernet cable, the slow macbook becomes a similar speed to the faster one. Any help appreciated!
