[H] Asus Netbook

[Steve Tomporowski]

I went out and got a netbook, it's an Asus Eee PC 1005PEB, which I've 
upgraded to 2GB memory.  It has an N450 in it, and, although I expected 
it to be slow, it's pretty much a dog and Asus had decided that any 
working area on the screen should be made as small as possible with 
large menu bars, gadgets, etc.  It came with Win7 Starter which brings 
on the question:  I have three options here:  Clean up this install, 
install Win7 Ultimate or install XP.  I just don't know if XP will 
actually be faster.  What I'd like to do is be able to play video off 
the hard drive, not necessarily HD.  It just seems to me that the Aspire 
Revo seems faster. (Yeah, I tried with wired network also).

Suggestions?
Thanks....Steve
