You're in good company Ryan, there's quite a bunch of us who've just ditched Norton. Avast seems to be the way forward so far.

I don't dislike ATI... I've never had one is all.. Seems when it comes time for me to get a card, it always ends up Nvidia, for some reason... I haven't OCed any of my vid cards though.. The TI4600 I'm running has never been touched... The BFG comes OCed.. I don't know if it will push more or not....

RC - A heads up on Avast, I'm starting to get some false positives related to Panda's free On-Line scan ...

<b> ...more people are driven insane through religious hysteria than by drinking alcohol - W.C. Fields </b>

Uhm.. o well, this topic is as good to ask this question as anything else.

I'm looking for a fair priced mail client that allows me to share mail that comes from a POP3 server (more than one actually), over different computers, without having to run my own mail server. Basically I'd like this client to be configurable that it stores the downloaded mail on a network drive somewhere, where all clients on diffent computers on the network can find it. Effectively, when I've read a mail on one of my computers, I would like this mail to be accessible on another computer, preferable showing that i've already read it.

Am I making things unnecessarily difficult and should I just run a local mail server, or is there something out there doing the job for a fair, possibly low price?

Hey RC, I'm moving over to an ATi this time. I currently have a geForce 3 Ti200. Come to think of it, it HAS served me well over 3 years now, being able to stand DOOM III (albeit at lowest resolution and detail level) and HL2. I hadn't built a high end rig back then which had the XP1800 as the best with the Ti500, instead I had opted for what my (and my bro's..... and dad's ) limited budget allowed (and that included a trade-in offer which was not even allowed at the PC store but was done as exception!) and gone for the raved mainstream line card, the Ti200 (for its ability to provide playable DX8 gaming) with an XP1600+ CPU.
So I never really had the chance to get some serious powerhouse system. Now I will, and trust me PF, just for the video card, you'll be swearing at me more than the time you swore over the watercooler failing...

Oh and BTW, since nForce 4 is the new hotness out right now, I thought I should send out my recommendation to yall who may be building something soon: without a doubt, hands down, the Gigabyte K8NXP-9 is the best most-feature filled mobo you'll find for the money yet. I only bought it and not installed it, but you just drool at the box itself. Look at this visual orgasm:
<A HREF="http://www.scamtron.com/THGC/Temp/picture 006.jpg" target="_new">http://www.scamtron.com/THGC/Temp/picture 006.jpg</A>
<A HREF="http://www.scamtron.com/THGC/Temp/picture 007.jpg" target="_new">http://www.scamtron.com/THGC/Temp/picture 007.jpg</A>
<A HREF="http://www.scamtron.com/THGC/Temp/picture 008.jpg" target="_new">http://www.scamtron.com/THGC/Temp/picture 008.jpg</A>
<A HREF="http://www.scamtron.com/THGC/Temp/picture 009.jpg" target="_new">It's flashing me, dirty dirty!</A>

To detail some of the features (trust me, it's more than you'd ever expect):
-DPS daughtercard which gives the system a 6-phase power circuit to ensure stability for future CPUs (better power supply to them)
-PCIe 16x graphics slot
-2 PCIe 1x slots
-3 PCI slots
-Whopping 10 USB 2.0 ports support
-2 Firewire 800Mb ports plus an extra one that can be added, I believe
-802.11g wireless PCI LAN card
-2 Gigabyte Ethernet ports
-nVidia's Hardware Firewall and some of its own goodies
-NIS 2005 included (I think it's a full version)
-RAID
-8 freakin' SATA ports, 4 using the new SATA II 3Gbps technology
-2 legacy IDE ports
-Dual-BIOS
-8 channel integrated audio (7.1)

If you ask me, the price of about 180$ is well justified. Heck the box itself is amazingly well designed, with two boxes full of the features. I can't wait to put it, all reviews have been very positive about it.

Anyways, back to the intial topic, I'm definitely going ATi for the performance this time. The 6800GT served the best for near high-end for a long time now, however the new X800XL will give it a serious run for its money, costing less (supposed to be) and performing as good. And this time ATi will deliver the cards, there is no doubt about it. I've even seen the X850XT PE in person at the local PC shop, in a shiny Sapphire box.
I really hope to find good prices for the March Break, so I could build the rig then. I got all parts except for the CPU and vid card. Still undecided on the former though. For the latter, I'd like to see if they won't get an H.I.S version of the vid card instead of Sapphire.

Yeah me too (except for OCing, I tried it a few times, nothing impressive, but also because I doubt I can really push the new card any more possibly than it is already) hence why I got the Ti200. Now ATi's winning.

Oh and yeah for the latter, I'm shootin' for longer too.

Well, I'm not going PCIx board this time... I all ready have a gig. of Corsair XMS DDR 500 RAM.. I'm not going to chuck that out or sell it just yet... So I'm going AGP again... DDR2 is too dam expensive to switch to for me right now.. I'd rather have the fast vid card with DDR, than a mediocre card & DDR2.. That's just me though..

A64 3500 Winchester
MIS K8N Neo2 Platinum
1 gig Corsair XMS Extreme Low Latency
BFG 6800GT OC 256
Liteon 16 X Dual sided DVD Combo Burner..

No, I'm not going over to ATI this time.. Nvidia has too sweet of cards right now, & BFG is a hell of a card...

My parts will be getting here today, by the tracking. I have 4 machines to build before I leave on Sun. for the UP trip.. So RC is going to be power building this week.. I hope that I get my machine up.. I'll do that one last, more than likely.....

The board you have looks great as well..

You have to activate Avast... It's free. Gives you a 14 month license... Then you can get another one..

We've been going through Avast for the last couple of weeks here.. I know you've been busy & not around while it's been going on.. I don't know how to catch you up on all the things that were said & done about Avast..

A big thing it will do is a boot scan... I've never seen Norton do that... Scans before the drivers are loaded.. A lot of viruses disguise them selves as drivers & they're running when your in Windows, harder to grab then.. There's a lot of other reasons why I switched as well.... BTW, I have a Corp. Norton that stays updated forever as well, that I took out, to install Avast.....

Here's some of what I've changed recently...

Went to FireFox over both IE & Netscape.
Went to Bluebird for email, over IE & Netscape.
Installed MS Antispyware (beta) This one has saved me on a client of mine.
Getting my wireless router running for a hardware firewall.. (I'm still working on this with PF)

So in the last 2 weeks, I've changed a lot of what I've always ran & I'm loving it.. Now to change out my machine, for a new one!!!!

That FedEx Man ain't here yet?????
