laptop problems?

ok here is my problem I had a dell desktop with dialup. It was old and very basic. I was okay with the speed, i use it for internet music and photos. I recently bought a gateway laptop and I am using same dialup connection and it trememdously slow. I heard from everyone that it was going to be much faster. I don’t really need super speed but I can hardly even do anything on it. It is so slow? I am getting roadrunner soon, but why is this new one with super specs worse than old one with bad specs?
i have had it for two days

ISP Speeds?

I cleaned off my old Dell desktop that has a dialup modem. Loaded Windows XP Pro – dialup connection dropped to 26.8. Had the geeks come out to assess and was told that my 486 processor was unable to keep up with the OS.

I purchased a new Dell laptop in January thinking that everything would be configured correctly and my dialup would increase a bit.

NOT!!! What is causing this issue?

Also, I heard that Vista will not work with dial up. Is this accurate? I have the upgrade but have not installed it.
