I've yet to see XP "win" on performance on the same hardware. But I see XP "win" on stability. So that may be the performance that is better. You decide.
To get XP to act a bit more snappy, turn off all that eye candy in the desktop. Knock it down to about what you see in 98/2000 and it will see faster. Even with that and BLACK VIPER's help, without 512M ram, it still may not feel as snappy.

I have a Dell Inspiron 3700 laptop, was running Win 98, upgrade to XP. I was told is was easier and quicker. Since then the performance has been down. I done all the upgrades of drivers and what not, that was recomended after the install.
Should i wipe the system and put on xp from scratch??? OR can i just start stripping it down??? If so what are the major performence areas???
