   You have read wrong   
      
   If the machine is slow it has a problem other than the file system   
      
   maybe not enough RAM   
      
   or maybe too many programs in startup   
      
      
   The only way to change it to fat32 without a total re-install would be   
   to use a third party utility...but it would be a waste of time...   
   you need to get to the real problem
