You never know how fast your computer really is until you do a clean install.

I have almost the same rig as you. I have a 19"lcd monitor, logitech keyboard/mouse,, etc... I wish I had that big display though. Also I have a AMD XP setup. (AMD XP 2600, Corsair 1 gig ddr 3200, 120 gig hd, etc..) And Logitech Z-640's 450 watts THX certified!

Why would it? It's just like having an extra large LCD monitor.

 

[WHipLAsh13]

It is true. A fresh install is sometimes one of the best upgrades ( and cheapest) one can do.

 

[CtK]

gonna do a fresh install once SP2 comes out

 

[Aharami]

havent done a fresh install in a while. then again im runnning an athlon 4 1.4Ghz. wont be fast no matter what. but i hardly ever spend time on my home comp anymore...so no need to upgrade

 

[FreshPrince]

is that a plasma screen? wow. Your parents must be rich

 

[ElFenix]

it's not that much faster.

 

[RossMAN]

I haven't done a clean install since buying our laptop September 2002, about 1.5 years ago.

If I did a clean install it'd be like using a 5GHz laptop!!!

 

[Beau]

I'm closing in on 1 year since my last clean install... still no problems, and it's still fast as hell. I just make sure I know what's running in the background, and perform a disk defrag once or twice a month.

make sure to add stickers to that laptop...adds 1GHz per sticker and reduces battery consumption.

Install a different operating system (other then Winblows) and you will see great performance boots

I just made a new XPPro bootable install CD updated with the SP2 files already. What's keeping you?
