I have found a shop manager willing to let me use a netbook in their shop despite them not being allowed to take my bets over the counter.

I have purchased a Samsung n150 with a t mobile wireless dongle. The only problem with it is it's too sluggish. 10 to 20 seconds to refresh prices etc. I am using IE 8 and the thing is brand new.

Any technology experts have any tips on how to speed the dam thing up, or the pages render quicker? I have no idea if its my hardware, software or internet connection which is the problem.

Let the abuse about arbing commence [:p]

Seriously though any help is appreciated.

Try it at home, ideally wired, to see if it's your wireless dongle causing the slowness. More memory never hurts. If you're running Windows 7, you may gain something from using a thumb-drive and readyboost.

IE8 is the slowest browser.
Use Chrome or Opera
