Hey Kevin,
When I installed XP SP2 on my EEE the only setting I fiddled with were to adjust it for optimum performance (so no eye candy) and to prevent indexing. I’ve read in the EEEuser forums that I should take steps to reduce the ‘random’ writes that XP often does, since it might reduce the like of the SSD…what do you think?

I must say that XP is working very well and is quite speedy (though I didn’t dare to multi-task), though I’d be interested on how you do with nlite and regarding any other tweaks you may use.

Cheers!

When I installed XP SP2 on my Eee, I just used a standard install CD, then disabled/removed the swap file and removed any unused programs (Outlook Express, Windows Messenger)…

Then I applied all the Windows updates, installed iTunes/Quicktime and Firefox/Thunderbird, as well as the Sierra Wireless drivers from my HSDPA card – and that was it!

I still have about 2 GB free – works for me :)
