Have you ever said: "I just wish I could speed up my PC?" Well, now you can. The reason that it is running slowly might be that the information on the hard drive is scattered all over the place. This means that it takes the computer much longer to find what it needs. You can use a defragmentation program to bring all of these bits of information closer together, and your computer will speed up.

It will increase the efficiency of your computer at retrieving data. Their really isn't a downside to defragmenting it too much, other then it taking up time.
