Please excuse me for the doublepost, but I have found a 100% working solution.
It makes ZERO sense to me but if you install the xp equivalent for your vista wireless driver, it equals to the result of hardwiring your internet (as in, plugging in a ethernet cable to feed your laptop internet). In other words, lag isn't fixed only by a dinky 50% but by a 100% instead. So, for those of you who lag, find out what brand of wireless you are using and then find the most recent xp driver for it. When you are installing, set it to be compatible with winxp sp2. Should be all set after that.
Would greatly appreciate it if somebody explained why it works this way though -- this is a new arena for me, so there's plenty i dont understand. I just know that it works, but not the reason why behind it.
Thanks for all the help everyone has given or has tried to offer. I hope this thread will benefit somebody else in the future.
