What are the specs on this thing?

OS, cpu / speed, memory? Hard disk size / free, defrag state?

You turned off the firewall, can you also turn off NAV?  Not sure if it
would affect a internet speed test or not.

One thing you might try is getting ahold of one of those internet speed
optimizers.  CableNut is one I use.  It tests the machine and the internet
connection, then sets up windows / network stuff to optimize the registry
stuff for that machine for that internet connection.  Might be worth a shot.
