hey guys This is my first post but I have been reading the forum a lot... I have just installed XP using "ron's image" from the aspireonesoftware blog on wordress.com. since installing I am not sure my AAO runs as I would like it. The fan comes on a lot, and the system seems a little laggy. I only have 512meg of RAM - I guess I should think of upgrading that, and once the winter holidays are over I guess I could see if I can find the $$$ to put 1.5gig in.. Until then... has anyone got any tips for speeding up xp? Muchos gracias amigos! Guy
