Would adding another 2GB of ram help my desktop in anyway?
Well, speed test from www.ozspeedtest.com a well known site in Australia
7.86mbps from the laptop
4.47 Mbps from the desktop.
WHAT IS THIS?!?!
I tried connecting the laptop, with VISTA, to my network, but I couldn't get the settings right.
I looked up a QoS menu on google, and found theres not one for my router.
Nope, i plugged it in while it was off, switched it on, changed the settings so it would gp through the cable not the wifi and i got nothing
laptop -> router's lanport -> modem.
I once again find myself agreeing with narf. You may well have gotten a slow server on your desktop. Try downloading something from http://mirrors.kernel.org/ to check. They have more bandwidth than you can hope to saturate, and plenty of power to push it out the tubes to you.

Well sure, but that's not exactly a normal user's connection, now is it?
Wait, you don't have 40Gbps at home?
