I've been using AVG's free anti-virus software combined with Ad-Aware to combat the malware scourge. Does Avast actually work better than AVG (free or paid)? Also, is there any truth to the claims that you shouldn't run more than one anti-virus program at a time?

I was shocked when I saw that 1TB drives now cost what my 200GB drive cost four years ago. Part of me is tempted to just buy two 1TB drives, reinstall XP onto one of those and then restore my files from the DVDs the Geeks say they are going to back it up on (and lets hope my fears of them inadvertently backing up the virus are unfounded). Still, at this point, it's probably better that I just add the second drive and double my RAM.

Honestly, replacing my motherboard is at the top of the list of things I'd really rather not do right now. If I can't find a compatible graphics card, I can live without it like I've been doing. While I want my game to run better, for my purposes it's really more important that I have a high end sound card.

I'll give it a few more years before buying a new motherboard, because by then I'll likely be building an entirely new computer.
