I'm getting a better stream using linux crunchbang on that old HP laptop (Dv5210us) with 512mb of ram (DDR 400), wireless connection, AMD Turion64, iceweasel browser versus a Dell 4700 with 4 gigs of ram DDR2-800, windoze xp, a faster processor (Intel® Pentium 4 HT), ethernet wired and Firefox browser.
