Re: Time for a reformat, or new hard drive?

Hi JWhipple,

Over time with use, computers can gradually slow down. This is due to programs being installed and uninstalled, files being created and deleted, drivers being updated, together with the associated registry changes. To counteract that, I usually perform a fresh install on my system on a yearly basis. It does wonders, and my computer feels as though it has a fresh lease of life afterwards, quicker and more responsive. When I do this, I use the latest WHQL drivers.
