Building a computer???

Which video card? Specs? Model?

$2500 for a Sony laptop seems a bit steep. Over here a Sony laptop with higher specs can be had for around $1500- $1800

its 2500 with the norton (about $130 retail here), 100$ usb, mouse, and $160 wacom pad, but its in australian dollars, so about 2000 usd total.

video cards is a ATI mobility radeon hd 4650 512 mb

also, the web designer my parents use suggests some noddy program for security, says its a free download and always comes in first in the 3rd party tests, anyone heard of this? i was thinking i could use the 30 day trial that comes with the computer, download noddy, and try it out, if its no good go norton, and have the trial one as a backup incase i get a virus while running noddy...

Another good free one is AVG. [Dang prices are high where you live]

[bandaro]

yeah, the taxes and the australian dollar are to blame...

so your saying the noddy is a decent program? ill have a talk to the designer, see what he says about avg...

[GOLDSNIPER]

Sorry I don't know much about Noddy. In fact I have never heard about it maybe it's not available here.
