I think your post contains all of the answers... Ethernet is always likely to be the fastest - at least 100mbs which is faster than your ADSL up link.
What would be of some relevant interest is to see how fast your PC accesses USB storage devices. Though I am no expert, it might be the case that your new mother board is not configured to operate USB 2.0 which is faster than prior standards.
Note that all of the speed tests suggest that you should be connected direct to the router by Ethernet cable.

As it iscapable of using a PCI express card, then its safe enough to assume that USB1 speeds aren't the bottleneck here, so I'd say the dongle itself is the culprit...

would still be good to know why wireless isn't working on my computer though and what is the problem but i could be here for ages spending money on this and that and trying to diagnose what the problem is, cable is probably the easiest method and most secure way forward.
