Which is better. I'm definitely switching to McAfee when I get my new system, Norton sucks balls.

McAfee! | 43% | 43% - 20 | ||||
Norton! | 56% | 56% - 26 | ||||
Total: 46 |
I use AVG , Norton is probably the most controlling software I have ever used. I cant comment on McAfee as I never used itbroncobullfrog wrote:

Drop the Pentium 4, get an Intel Core 2 Duo. Far better processors, Dual Core!, sure they have lower clock speeds but they are far far more powerful, and their performance over P4's is immense. Ok Core2Duos are more expensive, but its well worth it!New computer at Xmas:
Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz, Nvidia GeForce 7900GT 256MB,
2GB DDR2 RAM, nForce 4 SLI Motherboard,
400GB SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive, Total Cost: $1440.00 CDN

I was searching up for Core 2 Duos, and the highest clock speed is 2.8GHz or so and it costs $999 USD.aujt74 wrote:
Option isnt there but...Symantec Anti-Virus - from the company who own Norton, but without all the resource hogging, fancy buttons and crapness of Norton Anti-Virus.
Where you get it from is upto you of course
Also, not trying to derail the thread or anything , but looking at your sig...Drop the Pentium 4, get an Intel Core 2 Duo.

Also that would mean, a new motherboard as well. Not sure if there are any SLI boards for Core 2 Duo out yet, but I'd look out for nForce5 boards for Core 2 Duo, rather than any nForce4 boards kicking about out there.
E6600 is the sweet spot for price v. performance IMO, so have a look into them! And dont be put off by them having slower clock speeds, Ghz arent everything!

Clock speed means nothing with the new generation of chips. The 2.8 could probably DOUBLE the performance of your p4.aujt74 wrote:

I'm gunna stick with just a normal pentium 4.
Its a common misconception, you will NOT get better FPS with a P4 at 3.4 than a Core 2 Duo at 2.8.I'm gunna stick with just a normal pentium 4. And you said GHz aren't everything, but I'm doing what I can to increase performance. I will get better FPS with a 3.4 than a 2.8.
