well obviously, but the score isnt going to be hugely effected. Even if you re-install windows, once you install your programs back on it will be pretty much the same as before you reformated.

And reformating just to get a higher score is pretty stupid.

umm, Matrix, that's really excessive, do those extra few points really mean that much to you?

YES!

But on a more serious note, suprasteve is kinda right. To reformat, and get a couple more points isn't worth the time (IMHO anyway ).
