In Task Manager and Windows processes, Desktop Windows Manager tends to consume a significant amount of RAM—currently around 300MB when idle. Sometimes the GPU usage spikes dramatically. This could be contributing to the lag you're experiencing on your XP laptop. One suggestion is to check the details for dwm.exe, specifically its priority settings, and adjust it to normal.

Refers to using identical Windows versions on the same Dell XPS laptop. Yes, Chrome slows down. You can play online poker and enjoy many Isseus games.

Remove the software and switch to another browser. Opera is intended to be quick.

Performance is slow; my laptop struggles with online poker even then. Regarding the DWM setting, what level is considered normal or below normal or low?

In your browser, Chrome and Opera both feature a gear icon, while Firefox displays a different symbol depending on the version.
