Default Rebooting

Alright, I am trying to get my old computer to work faster and better, the reason I got a new one was because it was out-dated and the memory was pretty much full. So, here's my question: Will re-installing the OS make my computer run faster?

There was no virus, in the first post I said that the memory was full. I'm asking for a way to wipe the hard drive and re-install the OS.

Then its kinda common sense that you have to get a OS disk and reformat then, isnt it?
