So you have windows xp on your Netbook, And you want it to run faster?
Or do you just want it to run fast when your running certain programs or games?

I don't know any other programs like end it all but you can setup your Netbook manually for best performance by stopping certain windows services, disabling windows themes, and effects and a few other tweaks if thats what your after?
 


yes,but how do i know wich windows services i can shutdown and wich one must stay on?and wich steps i need to take manualy so i can run windows xp with best performance?i have an emachines em350 from acer.processor 1.6ghz;1gb shared ram;an intel graphics media accelerator 3150(thats why the shared ram is for).the netbook does only supports low end games;but does not run modern games like call of duty black ops;etc.this netbook has always being a little slow so maybe there is not much i can do,i think.
