VB

Yes - best Free I've used is at GRISOFT.com - probably the most popular for 32bit Windblows. I just installed XP64 and they don't have a free one so I had to get avast for my new PC

John states it right.

AVG 7.0 by Grisoft works great.

john how is xp64?
still buggy, i got a fx55 sli rig that can handle it, but not sure if on line gaming and programs will handle it

Trying it out. I'm running a A8N-E with a 3200+ Opti, SATA 150s. Just finnished loading it, finding some apps don't work. But it flies....

u running in raid 0 or 1
im in o with 10,000 rpm hd's
loads fast.
i reloaded this pc
i flush it and reformat every few months, but i may reformat next month
forgot the cmds fpr windows splash screen and sound when booting up
want to put other mach in raid 1 eventually
i just oc'd my cards last night and then backed them off
i think im going to go water cooled next year and oc my proc
have a jiant zelman cooler but the chip dont like oc'ing thought i fried it yesterday. had to pull the battery out to get it to boot bios.
asus oc'ing utility will let me go to 5% but i need to do it manually well need to learn.
i got this up to the speed of the fx 57 ( 2.8 ) John but right now I have the proc back at stock this chip maxes out @3.4 thats insane for a 64 bit chip
You good at oc'ing? like side bus ram ect John
can U smell the plugs :gu:

THANKS JOHN,
I had that on my pc but it only worked for 30 days . I deleted it and down loaded it again and it was a no go. Must have left someting inside the first time?

bm...your a computer geek ?

VB - go to this page and get it: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1or here: http://majorgeeks.com/downloads29.html and lookup the free version

BM - no raid as I can't afford all the drives I want but I do have a couple SCSI Raid Controllers that I might put into an array :)

I do use the ASUS NOS a little but haven't played much with it. I need to trreat my machine nicely as it is a production machine. I don't want to reload the OS and apps any more than twice per year. And them, preferably only in winter (not in fishing season).

I've been OC'ing since early pentiums and celerys :) but just don't want to burn more systems///

ya vb sorta
I here ya john, well i can get this chip to the speed of the fx57 and that saves about 1 grand
i figure a few hundred next year fow cooling and i can keep up for a few years then its buy another chip maybe
c,mon burn this up lol.........

Dave you GEEK :laugha:

By then there will be dual core gaming chips :drool: and the games to support them

What the hell are you guys talking about/??? :rotf3:

Wow, BM is a computer nerd :rotf3:

BM's waders have a pocket protector and his sunglasses are held together with tape and a paper clip.

Another good one is AntiVir Personal Edition.I've been using it for a long time.

www.free-av.com

ya killin me

:bl2: :bl2: :rotfl: :rotf3: - almost spit the coffee all over the notebook!

Thanks for the tip on the free AV software. I think I had tried to download Avast AV software, but could not find the freeware version about 1.5 months ago.

No, he is a geek, not a professional geek like me, but a geek. Geeks are far more normal than nerds - besides, nerds have all of their teeth :tooth:
It's there now as it is the only one I found so far that supports 64bit XP

I use antivir too. had norton before that.....first scan with antivir and i got 10+ viruses that norton missed.

For a freebie it does a great job.Norton is way overated.The Grisoft AV is very good too.Never tried Avast AV.

BTW how'd you make out with your HD problem?
