[Ham-Computers] RE: Link for AVG 7.5

[Brian K. Gaskamp]

Well I guess seeing that my Old Dell Dimension 2300 can only handle 512 meg 
ram, or I think thats what the manual says and AVG needs 2 gig, I hate to 
say it but looks like its back to Norton.

Unless I figure out what else might be slowing the computer here down, but 
AVG seems to be the culprit.

Thanks for all the help guys.

73,
Brian
