I'll take either, as long as I get good reception!

These machines get bogged down on anything less than about a gig of memory. We're mostly an Optiplex 740 shop here, and I started ordering my machines with ½ gig of memory, thinking that would be sufficient. It's not. My personal experience is that even on reasonably powerful machines (AMD Athlon X2) you need at least a gig of memory, especially if the memory is shared with video.

AV shouldn't have an adverse effect on this. I would expect some performance hit, but not "bogged" down as the OP stated. He doesn't mention CPU or CPU load, so it may not be a memory issue. Having said that, Nod32 does seem to work well in legacy environments. I use it on a couple of clients that have older equipment and I never hear complaints, nor do I notice a loss of performance when I am working on these machines. -- Mike Gill From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 10:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: NOD32 Antivirus Dang... if Vipre bogs down the workstations, I dare say just about anything else you want to put on them will bog it down as well. 512 Mb is NOT a lot of memory. Have you looked at upgrading the memory on those machines? DDR and SDRAM DIMMs are not that expensive any more. From: Jim Dandy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 1:16 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: NOD32 Antivirus I'm interested in hearing feedback on NOD32 antivirus. How is it in terms of accuracy of identifying and protecting computers from viruses and other sorts of malware? How is it in terms of the load it puts on workstations? I've got a bunch of old XP systems with 512 MB ram and they seem to get bogged down by other antivirus software (VIPRE and Sophos). Initial tests indicate that NOD might be better. What is your experience? Have you used ESET NOD32? How is it as a central management point for antivirus on the workstations? Thanks for any help you can provide. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
