    Lately I have noticed that my amd turion has not had the zip it used to have within the first couple months of purchase. I ran wprime and my times were slower by 3 seconds! :mad: I have tried everything from a system restore to a virus scan with nothing making any difference in my bmark scores. Does anyone have any recommendations of any programs to clean out their comp and restore its speed?

    Thanks.

    I think the slowdown comes from the gradual accumulation of programs and files a computer inevitably gains over a given period of time. I know it certainly happens to my machines. A reformat and clean install should bring your system back up to speed if it's all that important to you.
