The best is that you make a backup of your data files.Reinstall windows XP.Install only the programms that you use, the rest not.Don't forget an antivirus program and a firewall.Copy the data back on your hard drive on a sepparate partition.Place the swap file also on a sepparate partition with a fixed size.Make an image with (ghost or acronis , ... ) of both parttions.Now should your computer work faster, because there a less programms on it so it uses less memory.The files are not fragmented any more, your registry is smaller then before, ... The only problem you have is that a few months after you have the same problems as you have now.For speeding up your hard disk the only solution is use a RAID configuration.But it costs a bit more.

I have actually purchased several cooling systems just to tune up my pc. God if you just knew how fast it is you would wanna kill yourself. One thing thats hugely important when u tune up your pc is to clean it before you play with it. Dust might seem harmless - but if you dont remove it and let ur computer get heated it might end up with a fire. Also this is nothing for newbs. Only experianced users should take advantage of this - to be on the safe side so to say.

Is there any disadvantages in doing this?
