I built him a computer a month ago and figured it would be wise to go with VISTA Home Premium 64bit being that XP is old technology and why buy old stuff. I got him a E6600 processor as well so I figured he'd have this computer...

    ISP problem

    I guess the networking forum is the place for this? Not sure where else to post this kind of thing. Anyway, I live in a rural area of Canada and only have the choice between two ISPs. Telus and Shaw are the only options for high speed. Telus is way more expensive than Shaw and only has 3mb...

    McAfee to AVG?

    I own the McAfee 2005 virusscan/firewall package. A number of my friends are telling me I'd be better off going with the free AVG now rather than the McAfee due to the fact I like gaming and McAfee takes up more resources than AVG. I'm not sure what to do and would like some advice. Thanks
