Ok, thanks.

When copying files over a wireless network, between an XP laptop with a wireless g card and a Win 7 laptop with a wireless n card, will I notice any speed improvements by upgrading my current wireless g router to a wireless n router? In other words, will the entire wireless n machine -> router...

No idea what's going on fellas, but I thought I may as well uninstall ZoneAlarm for a day and see what happens. I'm guessing it's not the issue, based on what's being said, but I have nothing else to go on at present. I'm wondering if it's a faulty memory stick. I may run memtest.
