Afraid you won't get a netbook with a DVD drive, if you're after that you need a small laptop, which will be heavier and set you back considerably more.
Netbook wise, not a lot comes close to the Samsung NC10.
Errr, that's an AMD chip. You have an Intel motherboard there. Try something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037 It'll have similar, if not better performance, and you won't have to upgrade anything else. It also has a 65w power draw, so you won't have to worry so much about your PSU not being able to power everything.

That's all very well, and that's a very nice chip, but he would still be far better off upgrading his graphics card. A well overclocked 4400 is still plenty if you have a decent GPU. There will be very little noticeable difference between a C2D at 3.2Ghz and one at 4Ghz.
To be honest the only way to go with PC speakers is to buy an amp and some bookshelf speakers; I got my setup for about £100 and it sounds far better than any PC speaker that I've ever heard.
If you don't want to go that route, ask yourself if you want 5.1 surround sound or not. If you don't then don't get the 5500s. If you do, they are a good shout.
I would strongly recommend looking at the Logitech Z10s or Creative T40s. I've had both and they are both great (the Z10s sound a little warmer, while the T40s are a touch crisper).
Er...no. That CPU is made by AMD, while that motherboard only takes Intel socket 775 CPUs. Just clock your 4400 and it will be fine. I have my 4500 running at 3.2Ghz at the moment (ignore my sig!), and it's a bad clocker for the series. The 9950 would neither be a particularly good upgrade, nor would it work with your motherboard. You would benefit far more by upgrading your graphics card.
Who made your PC, and can you post the specs please? What OS is it running?
If you don't know the specs, go to Start, run, and type "dxdiag" without the quotes. Hit enter. Tell me what comes up for System Manufacturer, System Model, Processor and Memory. Then go to the "Display" tab and tell me the Device Name.
Yep, that's a nasty, cheap power supply. The PSU is the one part of the system that you should never ever skimp on, not even a little bit, as it's the one part of the system that can break and take out the rest of your system with it. Get a good PSU even if it means spending an extra $100.
