I just formatted today. First time I've ever done it and I'm on a machine that is maybe 3-5 years old. It certainly meets all of my needs just fine, it just was running kinda low in HD space and was a little slow at times, especially on a start/restart.

I backed up all my music, movies, word files and a few other important things. Other than that I did a clean sweep - with the help of a friend who is more savvy at these types of things - and I have to say it is night and day.

#### is so much faster. I have about 100GB of extra space too. I used to be at 250/300GB used and now I'm at about 150/300GB used. Everything seems faster and it is so much better with much less clutter.
