What is your opinion over that??

For me here 's the pro:

Pros: 1) Computer's with low RAM, like say, only 256 MB or below, should use AVG. It hardly slows down pc startup unlike Norton or other commercial anti-viruses.

2) For those who have heard that Avast! is better, well maybe but I find Avast!'s full system scans to be terribly slow. It took me more than an hour to complete a full scan with Avast! On the other hand, AVG only took about 25 minutes and it doesn't use too much RAM during these scans too so I can do something else like web browsing without being slowed down.

3) There's no technical support for this free edition but at least there's a forum. Better than Norton which doesn't even have a forum, right?

4) Has about all the features you'll need in an anti-virus.

5) Super fast updating. Updates are frequent too.

6) Efficient automatic updating (I have Norton on another PC and it's slow to automatically update- if there's any).

7) Here's a nice one, AVG has a feature

I sent it in thinking that my laptop would be repaired because it was under warranty, but then I was looking at the site and they have list of the cost of repairs and parts!! What kind of warranty is that. I was just wondering If Im going to be charged without knowing or if it will be covered by the warranty.

I am going to buy an Alienware Laptop Area 51m-5550. It will cost around 999$, and 1200$ with tax and shipping.. My question is should i buy now, or wait 2 months when school starts so i can maybe get some "promotions" or "discounts". AW team said they do not hold any back to school savings, however, they do around the fall release something new.

-Problem is, my cheap laptop isnt nothing special or one of their prized gaming beasts.. So if they introduce a promotion, it probably wont affect a cheap as it is Alienware laptop like mine. Instead it will target the expensive higher ranked models.

*Am i right and should i buy now,
or ..... (your opinion).......

Thanks in Advance...!!!!!

My radeon 9800 pro 128mb just fried for the 5th time (no joke) and this time ATI wont take it back because warranty expired.

So now im looking at a 7600gt since they are relatively cheap now, but i have a 350W Antec SP350 PSU...will it be enough?

The rest of my pc is like this...
Asus a7n8xdx
2 stick 512mb
athlon 2800 barton
1 Hard drive
1 CDRW
1 Floppy

Thanks! in advance

The memory board from the intel celeron hp pavilion6630 with 256. The hp contains one hardrive. The numbers on the memory board are GMM2649233ETG, also has PC100-322-620. The gateway has a slot for more memory and can upgrade as well to more memory. Both the gateway 566c and the pavilion6630 have intel celeron inside. Both pcs have only one hardrive. what more information is needed between the two pcs to determine if the board from the hp is compatible with the gateway opening for more memory.

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Click here to get the latest flash player.

Surly it must be turned on and installed if You Tube is now working. I tried down loading it again but couldnt as the bar at top of page did not appear, that may be due to being locked out of my admin account due to forgetting my password and miss placeing reset disc.

Mariann Merrit STOP spamming for your Norton crapy products!!?

Asking obvious questions in order to increase Norton products is SPAMMING even in Yahoo answers.

It was 100% when i first see the ink level before taking any print out. Is this the way all the printer consumes ink or i hav to make some settings to make it right?

I'm looking to buy a new laptop, and in the specs I keep coming across a "L2 cache". The standard on pentium processers at my price range is 1 or 2 MB, yet on AMD's it is 128 or 256KB exclusive. what does this mean for the performance of my laptop?

It already has an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 integrated into the motherboard. I've read somewhere that this should therefore leave some slot (sorry, forgot the name of the slot) open, allowing you to install a separate dedicated card.

Also, would it be worth it to do so in order to be able to play semi-new games on it? Processor is an Intel Core Duo processor T2250 (1.73GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 2MB L2 cache), ram - 1GB DDR2.

Thanks for reading this!

I remember only a few years back a PC would cost you £1000+ and now you can pick one up for £200 from the high street. Memory used to cost a lot too and now you can get it virtually free and there are things like 30Gb camcomrders that cost little more than a tape system. Why is it all getting so cheap?
