I had allot of problem with Windows ME. Had to reconfig every two months. I have since upgraded to xp with no problems at all. I use spy bot S&D , and ad ware 6.0. I all so use the built in firewall in XP I have to say that XP is the best operating system from Microsoft at this point. DOn't go with the upgrade version spend the money on the full version and as Val as the pro version offers more protection.

I have to revise my statement. i DO NOT rely on the built in firewall. I use Norton's. Though it does annoy the hell out of me with all the continuous pop ups.

I have built my system from the ground up. And to my experience through trial and error the most expensive is not all ways the best. For instance I run an Athalon XP processor which I have Had better luck with then my previous Pent. 4. I also run a very cheap either net (lan card) with no problems. I have a 160 gig hard drive which I will never fill. The only thing I wish I would have done differently is better ram. i am only running 256 MB But that will change very soon with dual 512 MB sddr cards. My monitor is still the weak point (it is 10 years old)

Unless your main use for you PC is gaming you do not need a high dollar graphics card or sound card.

Are any of you running a Xenon processor? How are they?

One other piece of advice I have is if you open up you case do it on a non carpeted surface and ground your self out to some thing metal first. To me my computer is like a drug I am always looking to make it better faster and more aesthetically pleasing. I have a bad compu addiction and I am still very much a novice.
