Lowest resource usage anti-virus program

What's the antivirus program that uses the least ram, cpu usage, etc? I want to use the auto-detection thing that most programs have, but some eat up quite a bit of performance, correct? I'm a gamer with a somewhat limited system for the newest games, so I need to sqeeze out every bit of performance I can get.
 
Norton and Panda do a good job with Cpu's above ~500mhz. Anything slower and you will notice a huge performance hit. It's also good to have at least 256mb of RAM in you rig. I consider anything less very slow. I don't kow how some people can live with 128mb of RAM
 
Norton uses practicly no ram or CPU time on my system, 1-2 MB and 0 CPU. Olthogh if I do a full system scan then my system slows considerabley.
 
I'm using AVG right now on AXP2000 w/512MB ram and so far it seems pretty good. I've noticed that when AVG detects a virus it just tells me to run a full scan, though. I remember a while ago when I used norton, it would ask if I want to repair it or not so I wouldn't have to waste all that time scanning like 70GB of info.
