I'm having more and more problems with a couple of computers that are only a couple years old.

Re-installing windows is getting less and less effective.

The machines were both lightning fast when I first got them, and it never occurred to me that a processor or stick of memory might "wear out", but is that possible?

If so, and I need to buy a new machine...

I avoided Vista like the plague. Bought 4 new computers since it came out, reformatted and upgraded back to XP on every single one. How is 7?
