This helps tons.
speedguide.net has some registry 'tweeks' for different versions of windows.
Also Win7 had the ability to turn on a FASTTCP type of congestion management called Compound TCP. I haven't tried the windows version so ymmv, but I have experienced great success by changing the congestion avoidance algorithm on other devices.
