I'm running two PC's from one monitor. One PC is old and crappy and is running Windows XP, the other one is new and running an early version of Vista. I used to have the old PC hooked up to the internet, but then it started crashing a lot so I moved the internet cable from the old one to the new one. I can connect either computer to the internet just by swapping the modem cable.
For some reason though, the internet on the old computer runs really fast, but on the new computer, certain pages load really slowly and I have no idea why. For example, SW loads in a second on the old PC, but on the new one it takes up to two minutes to load the forum front page. MySpace, Facebook and Google all load at the same speed on both, but heaps of sites on the new one take aaaages to load. Pictures seem to take a long time to load on the new one too.
Does anyone have any idea why it does this, or what settings I'd need to change to fix it?
