up until then, my computer was just slow, starting up slow; locking up etc. and I primarily only use it for email/web etc so not a lot of extra stuff/software downloaded to it.

I think it was running like that because it's about 5 years old, and I hadn't done any sort cleanup etc...
we'll see how it goes...

Just curious if you've cracked the case and given it a good dusting inside too. There's always an accumulation of crap on the processors heatsink. I just take an air compressor and blow it out, outside of course, and plug it back in. By doing this the core temp will go down and give me a little increase in speed.
