I will admit, though, that I obsessively keep all the program and driver discs so I never have to worry about that.

I *LOVE* how much that fresh OS & Software install speeds up the computer after all the errors and fluff have been purged! It's like getting a new computer.

Oh wait, now that I re-read your 2nd sentence -
I agree, a fresh install of a OS and a new HDD=so much faster! I just put a new 1TB Caviar blue into my iMac, what a difference in speed.

I no longer have my retail disks for my windows PC, so thats really my dilemma.
