Wireless speed issue

right... i have two PCs, one laptop one PC, both connected to the same wireless router, which obviously is connected to my internet. PC's internet has been horrendously slow recently, so i've just done a speedtest, PC averages 180odd kb/s download speed, wheras the laptop, on the same router/connection/browser manages 1300odd Kb/s (and that's not a mistype). I've reinstalled the PC's wireless driver, but no luck

Both connections have "excellent" signal-and both tests were conducted from the same desk, so the same distance from the router

Any ideas??

PC card is some built-in doobobber, so it's not using the usb ports... i have had it running at smae speed as laptop previously, but not for a while, as i've had it connected with a cable recently, but just moved PC again....

PC running Vista, laptop running XP, PC a virtually fresh install, with only office 2007, and GP4 installed, and most HP stuff disabled/removed totally
