Pretty much the same here.
I cant play PC games at all unless I uninstall my Norton A-V, because the bastard sucks all the juice out of my processor.
My problem is that either I get a better car or a new PC.
My car is reaching the 100k miles and no A/C, so a better newer car would be nice.
but
My PC is 4 years old: Pentium4, 2.5Ghz, 1Gb of RAM and 128Mb on the Video Card. And I would just buy more RAM, but my manufacturer says that 1Gb is the limit for my [old] Mobo.
So ASA my time with Norton is over I'll definitely get rid of it and try a new Anti-Virus.
EDIT: Yet, I'm still undecided about the car. Because A/C is very much appreciated in the heat of Miami.
