So, if the computer is running fine except internet, why do you feel its the fault of the computer? Sluggish internet can be caused by numerous outside influences, the contention ratio, is your isp throttling things like Torrents and other P2P protocols during peak times? Have you tried another computer on the connection, also have you tried the computer in question outside peak times?
If another computer runs fine the first thing you need to do is to make sure there is no crap-ware running in the background. To check this download Superantispyware and run a scan...

You could try optimizing your connection via Windows, but BEFORE doing the suggestions, back up the registry!!!
