Hey all

i was just wondering whether norton anti-virus would create any problems on XP when running. I used to have problems on my 98 system (not with norton) and when looking it up a lot of people complained about problems created by norton like unexpected crashes and poor system performance, just worries me a little and makes me think to goto other anti-virus software, even though norton is spose to be the most reliable

Also it's been accused of being a major resource hog i'm going to have a pretty high end system (p4 3.0 which i will be overclocking) so i'm wondering if it will make much difference to my gaming....i don't like to switch my anti-virus software off...

any help??

Overclocking the 5050e
By r_manic, 13 hours ago:

I'm not sure if you "should" overclock an HTPC or not. HTPCs are designed to run quietly, and thus should be able to operate without powerful/noisy cooling systems. Overclocking anything on the HTPC will make unsuitable for whatever purposes you have for it.
