[QUOTE="Rod McCarthy, post: 378125"] DO THIS: I built my current system. I use it for video work and gaming. My system is pretty nice. BUT I have found that what makes some people scream about XY or Z IS suite slowing down there system, doesn't affect my computer, and others who claim XY, and Z is so fast, make my PC crawl. So it is really true you have to try them out on your system. Here is how I do it. Install Win 7, install all the software you need, or want. Install your games. Tweak the settings the way you like, but DO NOT install any security suites. Now don't install acronis, I put the acronis boot iso onto a bootable USB with Flashboot. Now boot up with the USB (3.0 is best). Now make an image of your C: (mine is 34 gigs) save it to another drive (like D:)... NOW choose any IS suite or antivirus / firewall combination you desire install it and try it out. When you want to try another software package restore your image from D: to C: (I restore and it takes about 3 minutes). Now try another IS suite of your choice... [/QUOTE]
