I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question, but it seems like I haven't exhausted all the possible solutions to the problem that I have. I have an Acer Aspire One net book laptop. Currently, I do a lot of gaming on this laptop, and it seems to be pretty well built overall. However, due to the fact that it's a net book, my gaming options are pretty limited to only games with very low system requirements, usually older ones. Now obviously, being a net book, most of the hardware on my computer is integrated, including the sound and graphics card, and several other components vital for gaming. I was wondering if anyone had any idea as to how one would increase the specs of the computer, even with the integrated hardware (perhaps give my graphics card hardware T&L or something). I have tried programs such as game booster, but it doesn't seem to work very well, seeing as all it does is end nonessential processes on the computer, which I could do myself. If anyone has even the slightest clue on how to help, please tell me. Thank you all for your time in reading this.
Pretty sure there isn't much you can do. Killing processes will only help you so much. Depending on the game, you could look into mods that make the game easier to run on older GPUs like Oldblivion is to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That may help you get a little more out of your netbook, but I am sorry to say, you gotta get yourself a new computer to really play games. Hope that helped a bit.
I just moved recently from Canada to US. Didn't bring my desktop with me and so ive been without that for about 2 months. I needed some sort of pc (other than tablet) so i brought an old hp netbook my bro used to have that i repaired for him.
then i found onlive. I pay $9.99 a month and have access to a 100 or so games, which are fairly new in this thing called the playback bundle. the internet connection is pretty good so I can play all kinds of games very nicely. cheap solution til i get my pc back. it also has new games but ofcourse they cost the price of new games.
anyway point is, you cant do much about the hardware but this is where onlive really, really shines and im beginning to really appreciate that it exists.

Don't bother wasting time, you need to save up for either a gaming laptop or a gaming desktop. Netbooks are just for normal desktop applications.
