    I voted "monthly" but that's just an average really.
    I like tweaking software and overclocking...a potentially fatal combination.
    Toss in a RAID array and Windows can become pretty um, fragile.

    My 64 bit Pro demo is almost expired and I've committed to a real version (meaning I actually purchased the damn thing), which hopefully I'll leave alone for a while.

    Usually every 3 months for me, Most times you can only fix so much by cleaning up and then you've no choice but to reinstall

    Used to be every six months, but I don;t think its gonna be like that this time,
    the fraking thing just won't do anything wrong, it's been a long time like this, no single problem at all.

    Saying that it has been well over 3 months since i done it this time more like
    5 months, but everything still works ok, maybe i just know a bit more now, and know the tips on keeping it running sweet
