Steps to a happy XP experience

After installing, removing XP and installing XP again, I thought I'd outline the steps to making XP perform well.

1. Disable D2D in Bios
2. Purchase and install extra 1 GB of RAM for 1.5 GB total
3. NLite an XP Service Pack 3 CD
4. Gather the Aspire One drivers. Grab the latest Intel Chipset/VGA drivers from the Intel site
5. Install XP, formatting the SSD to FAT32
6. Install the drivers
7. Turn off Paging
8. Turn off System Restore
9. Install Firefox 3 and you're set
