  1. I dont use Anti-Virus - It is for people who don't know what a trustworthy file, site or email attachment looks like! Also. .Since I hardly ever use Facebook or any of those other "social networking" virus/malware/trojan horse breeding grounds. . .I don't come into contact with that crap much. I basically use my computer to play online gaming (FPS's and RTS games) and downwatching / recording T.V. and movies . . .and using Adobe In-Design / CS-4 for work I build alot of computers for friends and co-workers though. . .and I almost always use or install AVG-Free Edition for them. First of all , IT IS FREE, and does a pretty good job of getting rid of nasty viruses and malware - I usually also set them up with "Spybot SD" to keep out alot of the stupid little information harvesters that are lurking out there. I just think that the whole anti-virus business is a scam! Why doesn't the operating system have this stuff built in? I know that vista has "Defender" and it does O.K.. . .but an operating sytem that costs $150.00 or so (if you paid for yours) should have a ROBUST and EFFECTIVE anti-virus / anti-crapware program built into it automatically. Instead, people get to pay $50.00 A YEAR OR MORE to keep infectious programs out of their computers. I bet companies like Macafee and Norton pay people to create viruses and stuff. . .to make people buy their products. . . "You better buy Norton. . .or the "SASSER WORM WITH GET YOU"!! hahahaha It would be comical if it wasn't such a **** scam!
  2. I just used Futuremark 06 for the first time with my new build. I just ran everything with stock speeds so I could establish what the "Baseline: for my setup was. . .My system is as follows: Case: Antec 900 w/ PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad Mobo: EVGA N-Force 680i SLI - P31 Bios CPU: Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.67Ghz - Air Cooled W/ Arctic Pro Freezer 7 Ram: 2 Gigs Corsair Dominator PC2-6400 (800Mhz) 4-4-412 Timings GPU: 2 XFX Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS 512 (G92) - 650Mhz Core Clock / 1940Mhz Memory - (SLI) *does not show up as SLI in test though becuase Futuremark has not added G92 in database? HDs: Western Digital - 250Gb SATA / Western Digital 160Gb SATA / Samsung 160 Gb SATA Sound: Xi-Fi Xtreme Gamer O.K. . .So, my Score is 12,839. . .IMHO, this is a pretty respectable score for "stock" speeds. Here is a link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=4706158 I have not quite figured out how to setup the whole "compare stats thing. . .so I am not sure if this is the best page to see the stats. . . But it does have my score on there. . . I just want to say. . .That I guess you do not have to have 2 8800 Ultra's, the latest Core 2 Quad (45nm) and 16 Gb's of DDR3 to post a respectable and GOOD score. . .My humble rig, which costed under $2000.00 put up a pretty darn good score if you ask me. . .
