Default Why is my boyfriend's wifi faster on his old Macbook than on my brand new Macbook...

...Pro? My boyfriend has a 3-4 year old (black) Macbook, I have a brand new (unibody) Macbook Pro... We have a brand new modem, and a mac Time Capsule serving as our wireless router. After I updated to Snow Leopard my computer started having issues with wifi-- I can't always find internet connections even when people who have really old computers can, I don't get full bars even when I'm practically sitting ON TOP OF my Time Capsule, and my connection is often slow.

My boyfriend's older Macbook always gets full bars, and is consistently getting DOUBLE the speed test ratings I am, even when we are sitting side by side. Why is this?
