    I just recently converted one of my main drives from FAT32 to NTFS. and I noticed my computer been running a more sluggish then normal (strange because ppl say ntfs makes it smoother)and uses more RAM. Anyone have some suggestion/tips to get it back to normal speeds? I'm on Window XP by the way. Thanks

    most people dont use fat 32 actually most people use NTFS as it is much better and more secure,

    also you cant go back to FAT32 without reinstalling windows. FAT32 to NTFS is a one way trip

    @thinh112

    what are your systems specs?
