AMD 64 bit dual core 2 ghz, 1GB ram
Comcast high speed internet
Apple Airport Extreme Router
Trendnet 54mbps Wireless G PCI Adapter
any help greatly appreciated

I'm no expert but i think you need more RAM since x64 uses more. Wait until one of the computer nerds come into the thread to confirm.

I don't think that's the issue, as it runs normally on a wired connection.

HI Sixen,
Try do the following instructions
1.Get a download accelerator
2.Turn off all unused apps while downloading
3.Don't upload information while you're downloading
4.Update your network device driver
5.clear your temporary download history files.
6.Use latest version of any browser
When i had the same problem,i followed the same ways.I am sure,it's very useful to increase your,both upload and download speed.Then you can check your new internet speed using ScanmySpeed.com

I am not sure if you still have this issue, but I did and have fixed it. My connection was painfully slow and I turned off the Themes service which is in the Group netsvcs. This sped up my connection immensely....
