    My computer is ancient in computer age. When I put it together -custom mishmash- it scored in the top ten percent at PCPitstop; it now scores in the bottom 35 or less, except in one category. 

    It runs XP Professional (retail copy), SP3, AMD Athlon, 1.19 GHz, 768 MB RAM, 120 GB ST3120026A hard drive - Barracuda 7200.7, Maxtor One Touch II USB external hard drive 100 GB.

    Security: Prevx, Online Armor Premium, Sandboxie, Trojan Remover, SpywareBlaster.

    I uninstalled  Eset's NOD32, got a partial refund, and bought license for Prevx. It is lighter on RAM use, 15 MB versus NOD32's 45 MB. Prevx is more effective too, and that says something.  NOD32 is one of the best av products. So all of my real time security now has about the same RAM usage as NOD32 alone.

      First computer - 1985 or so.  Leading Edge Model D.  Who remembers that?   The "specialty company" that sold it had three employees, and they barely knew how to use this computer.  The first program I fell in love with was Lotus 1-2-3, and it was spectacular!  Oh, the good old days....
