Clear out the Temp internet files folder via Internet Options.

First run a defrag on all partitions on your HD as your system will be very fragmented, that should speed up the system. It will boot a little faster and saving and loading should be faster. Adding more memory to the system will help.

It depends on the size and how much stuff there is on your hard drive. Roughly I'd say it could take anyware from 15mins to 2hours...

Ys, you would notice that it boots a few seconds faster, you can login faster and loading programs will be faster as well!
