****Sorry for my English****
-I run 12 hours with all the prime95 torture test with no problems
-The NVidia firewall block everything with all the ShieldsUP test from grc.com
-Never had an error on my computer
-All the pages of NAM work perfectly (just the logfile can't connect the server when I don't have enough entry. I don't know why but it work good when you have more than 10 entry)
-No problem with Norton live update (when you uncheck the secure norton option),outlook express or Windows update.
