id10t,
Totally agree with the "format" ever 6 months idea. I have two hard drives (or partition a single drive) and format the drive my OS is located on every so often to clean it up. Would not believe how much better it runs as Windows does accumulate crap.
The second hard drive or "d" partition holds all my "data" and is retained when the other drive is formatted. As well I do a complete copy of the storage drive for backup and an image copy of it to an older computer as a backup.
Neil, have tried Firefox and while its nice there are times I need to work with a minimum of 10 things open at once. Try doing international flight planning on a 30 day trip around the world, with at least two separate Word documents, three Excel spreadsheets, and a browser window open for each destination as well as at least one for each hotel chain you will be using. Firefox cannot help that and this is why I have a reasonably fast computer and 3 monitors. Would put a fourth on if I had another slot available!
