Well i decided to try out Norton's new product. they advertise that the norton 360 is better then there other products because is a MUCH less resource hog. soo i uninstalled AVG and loaded norton. when everything was done and booted it up i checked my task manger. and i was like Damn they were correct its using less resources. So then i go on to COD4 and bf2 and try to see if i lag, sure enough i did not lag. and also to say i am on Vista. and eveything looks great. i am happy so far with this trial so far.

My Specs

XBlade Case
Intel Pentium 4 Prescott 3.2 OC @ 3.44
Asrock P4VM800
2GB of Off-Brand Ram
1X 200GB Maxtor
2X 250GB SamSung SP2514N
BFG Geforce 7800GS OC *AGP* <-- Currently Dead now using a EVGA 6600LE
X-Fi ExtermeMusic
Vista Ultimate

Norton is shit. All smart people agree. If you think norton is good, you are wrong.

I disagree, and I'm smarter than you.

Theory proven wrong.

Norton is alright provided that you only do work stuff. Otherwise it'll kill your games.

6600LE? I cry for you. Even my bed computer (Wich has a totally overpowered graphics card for the purpose and specs) has a 6600 standard.

BTW, that CPU could clock a lot better. Unlock the FSB:RAM ratio, and it should go very high. I'm currently running my P4 3.0GHz at 4.2GHz. Not sure if your mobo could handle an FSB of >1GHz, though.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I've been using Norton for over 3 years now and haven't had a single virus. I don't care what people say, it works for me and that's all that matters. I also don't get any "lag".

I did use Norton for my PC. It was okay but it was a memory hog. I'm thinking about switching to AVG since my subscription is expired anyway
