| Update. I'm running XP smoothly now... Finished installing most stuff yesterday, but I'm still lacking updated graphics drivers (sitting on the crappy Dell drivers). I decided to run Avast still, seeing it's never caused me a problem. I've also decided to have Spybot now. Windows Firewall is good enough for a firewall for now... ![]() Any other random suggestions? - Core 2 Quad Q6600 - DFI Infinity 975X - 4GB Corsair XMS2 w/ DHX DDR2-800 - 250GB Seagate 7200.10RPM + 160GB Hitachi 5400.4RPM - ATi Radeon X1900XT 256MB - Cooler Master Centurion 5 + OCZ StealthXStream 600W - Acer 19" P191W Monitor - Logitech Z-5500 Digital + Logitech MX Revolution - Vista Ultimate x64 Dell Inspiron 5150 - Pentium 4 @ 3.06GHz w/ HT Tech - 512MB PC2700 RAM - 80GB WD Scorpio 5400RPM HD - nVidia GeForce FX Go5200 32MB - XP Pro SP3 |

| ^ Yup, props to Windows Defender. Used to use it all the time back when it was still in beta (and still called Microsoft AntiSpyware). But when I last installed it when searching for a new app, it had a single process hogging an assload of memory... Any memory hoggers go down the drain for me. But it does have active protection, which Spybot clearly lacks. - Core 2 Quad Q6600 - DFI Infinity 975X - 4GB Corsair XMS2 w/ DHX DDR2-800 - 250GB Seagate 7200.10RPM + 160GB Hitachi 5400.4RPM - ATi Radeon X1900XT 256MB - Cooler Master Centurion 5 + OCZ StealthXStream 600W - Acer 19" P191W Monitor - Logitech Z-5500 Digital + Logitech MX Revolution - Vista Ultimate x64 Dell Inspiron 5150 - Pentium 4 @ 3.06GHz w/ HT Tech - 512MB PC2700 RAM - 80GB WD Scorpio 5400RPM HD - nVidia GeForce FX Go5200 32MB - XP Pro SP3 |

| I'm Diggin it! | If I got rid of memory hogging software, I'd have to get rid of Firefox first. It uses more memory than Defender does. Good luck with whatever you decide to use, or not use.

| Colonel Calamity | Windows Defender is nothing but problems. It crashed 2 of my XP systems (1 pro, 1 home)... I found this out from the event viewer... Ever since I uninstalled it, the problems had stopped. It actually caused a problem when I tried to update my ATi drivers.. that was the last straw so it is gone from all 3 of my regularly running XP systems. ![]() Thanks HL and Corsair!

| Colonel Calamity | my boss also had issues on his office PC and his wife's at home... different versions, one of mine the install was less than 3 months, the other about a year or more... so far no common denominator. Mine is OEM Pro from holograph disc, my other one is XP Home from Dell... ![]() Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members. |
