    Need midrange (ish) agp card that requires no additional power source

    Sorry for slow response, haven't been on net much recently. Reason for card that doesn't require additional power is that I have only a 230 watt delta electronics power supply and cannot find a higher powered replacement for the type of pc that i have.

    norton internet 06 and windows updates

    You need to disable the norton protection centre, this is listed in the windows services. if you type services.msc into the run dialog on your start menu and go through the services then you should be able to find it, i think its list as norton protection centre but you should be able to find it...

    WGA Turning Off PCs in the Fall

    How ironic that the company that brought us one of the best antispyware programs (or pinched it from giant) is now the spyware distributor. How messed up is that?!! I understand peoples argument that if you have not pirated windows then you have nothing to worry about but does that really...

    New Intel P4 ,is this a good one?

    Northwoods are usually very good clockers, I used to have a 1.8 ghz one and managed to **** it up to 2.6 ghz. You should reach 4 ghz easily (possibly a little more) having said that bear in mind that no two cpus are the same so make sure you are careful and check the cpu is not overheating

    AVAST users, possible false positive?

    You could submit the file to avast, a lot of anti virus programs will let you do this. If not then there should be a link on the homepage to submit files for analysis. If not try one of the free online scans and see if they let you do this
