I have created a few threads in here about the wireless drivers for the Dell Inspiron and Sony Vaio(thank Yeag and Brain)

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 that with Intel® PROSet/Wireless driver pulls down 2-3 bars of wireless signal while my Sony Vaio with Pro Wireless driver only pulled down 0-1 bars intermittently.

My findings.

I went to Intel
http://support.intel.com/support/wir.../CS-010623.htm

clicked on this link
Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection(for my specific integrated Wireless card)

selected XP Home
selected driver #3 which is PROset/Wireless instead of Pro/Wireless.


Voila!

I went from 0-1 bars strength intermittently to 2-3 bars strength.



In summary.
PROset/Wireless driver
gets more bars than
PRO/Wireless driver

Hope this helps someone.
Have a good one!
