    Why would it slow right down?

    Anyone know why any given pc would become slower after you format it. Thats what's happened. Its a 1ghz intel chip machine with only about 150mb of SDRAM, but it was useable before, but now iv'e reinstalled the OS it has become slow and sluggish.

    Why would this happen? I'm hoping a RAM upgrade will do some good.

    What os was it? Maybe the reinstall was unpatched and got exploited before you got it up to date?
