Different download/upload speeds

Hey, my roommate and I are sitting in the same room on the same wireless network, but according to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest my roommate is able to get more than 2x download/upload speed than I am. He is running a laptop on vista, while i'm running xp pro. We are also using a linksys wireless router. Any ideas what is the problem?

Alright, when i did what was recommended by the tester, it didn't really make any changes to my speed when i tested it. Is there anything else i could try? Thanks

After making the tweaks,did you restart your laptop so the changes would take effect?

What RWIN values did you try? Forget the small increments they suggest. Go BIG or go home. Did you try RWIN scaling?
