    for keeping my speed up on my comp i always use CCleaner and Defraggler. CCleaner cleans all the useless crap you computer piles up from searching the internet and stuff and works great. Defraggler is a defrag tool that I use cause it shows more details and such.

    As for windows 8, it looks like it will be pretty good, if you don't mind the New start bar :D. I'm impressed but idk if it will be the best for gaming and such.
