Taking a poll here, who thinks that I would benefit speed wise from doing a clean install of Leopard, considering the following:
My current Tiger install has been from an eMac to an iMac G5 to a Mac Book back to the eMac to a 17" iMac to a 20" iMac back to the 17" and back to the 20" (don't ask.)
Is there a good chance that I've accumulated enough useless crap to slow down my system noticeably? I have noticed it slower lately, but I don't know if it's from that.

If you have noticed it being slower, then a clean install might benefit your system, but it's usually voodoo. Since you've moved between ppc and intel though, it's possible you have some Rosetta apps that could be running intel - reinstalling them might help.

Maybe you're not getting more opinions because there are so many other threads on this?

Is it too cliché to say: Just do it?

Haha. Peeb, so far no one has asked about a drive that's been through that many computers. And I want to know before I cause myself the pain of a clean install. Ugh.
