My ISAM or InnoDB

I read somewhere that we should use innodb or convert my isam to innodb in mysql. It's said that it will be good as it will be faster for database processing.


Is it right ? If yes how we convert myisam to innodb ? I think the default used in my local web server (im using WAMP) is myisam. Please tell me how to do this its because my webserver is very slow eventhough its still local.
