Can old wiring in a house cause a computer to run slow?

travis_926 asked:
My boss just moved from a suburban apartment to a house in the country, and noticed that his computer is running much slower. He asked me if I thought his house’s old wiring might be the culprit (he drove the computer up himself, so he knows it didn’t get damaged en route), and while I thought it sounded reasonable I wanted to get some more folks’ input. Thoughts?
(Sorry everyone, I meant electric wiring.)
