Thanks ,

If you think the scaling was an issue, you should make the game resolution and the dosbox full screen resolution match (640x480) and let the monitor do the scaling (assuming it can keep the aspect ratio to 4:3).

Meaning I know shit?
About windowed x fullscreen, it's definitely an issue on all "heavier" games. There are settings that improve its performance dramatically, but it's something I don't know much about. I usually just skip this kind of setting and play windowed for the win.

All Infinity Engine games run great on a netbook, especially Baldur's Gate 2. Just grab the Weidu Resolution Chooser and mod the game to run at 1024*600 : it will truely look gorgeous on such a small screen, believe me. The pixels are so small, the image is very crisp. I just have trouble with Icewind Dale 2, the resolution mod cannot work for resolutions under 768px high for this game, meaning I'm stuck at 800*600.
