yes you do? you have never formatted? try it, you will find that if you format, then install everything you had on there before the format, it will be faster, because it is like defragging, but isntead of just moving things, you wipe the slate clean and start over...without all the deletions...

if i use data partitions, and clear them off, they are defraged as a side effect no?

no, it's just decreased slow enough for you to not notice it, I usually notice when windows takes 30 seconds longer to boot and such, esp with big programs opening, just try it ffs, that and you get a nice clean feeling!

You don't need to have a dual core to be current generation. Most gamers/people don't use dual cores because, well, they aren't necesary. Most games don't even support dual cores. Sure you can play them, but I don't think you'll get any advantage out of it with most games.

I still doubt you'd need a dual core system for whatever you're doing :icon29:
