Hi I have a Dell Mini9 netbook and it works well. However I'm finding it is a bit slow in getting booted up and am wondering if anyone has found a way of speeding up their netbook - it must be a problem for most as the processor is not all that fast and when you load in Jaws and AVG anti virus (or any other virus/firewall/spam program), then connecting to a network can slow things down quite badly. Also are there things one can do to ensure faster responses, etc. like maximising memory , tweaking WindowsXP and swap files? Thanks for any enlightenment. Gordon McFarlane
