That configuration should not be slowed down by IE 7. I'd start by cleaning out the temp, tempory internet and other junk files. Scandisk first then defrag your system.
If you have Norton System Works installed, turn off the Norton Protected Recycle Bin.
How you use the laptop can be a contributing factor... If it's only on when you are using it, then it has to use that time to download updates. Try running the updates manually for Windows and for any anti-virus program you are using. Install and run Spybot Search and Destroy too just to be sure there isn't something malicious stealing your speed.

IE 7 is really bad. It's slow on all machines.
http://www.Opera.com - Opera, I find this really good.

Uninstall it. It should revert to the previous version
