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.

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/// |

  - 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
