Thanks everyone. Virii would be the correct spelling we biologists use, but viruses is standard in normal-people-speak, and gets the meaing across. I doubt I need to scan my entire machine, just my /winbackup/ directory (about 10-15GB max) Thanks again!

I can't answer this too well unfortunately, but I can give you a bit of info. Dell does not carry AMD, and probably will not for a long time. However they do have AMD64 compatable Intel chips, which are better at bandwidth, though not as good for calculations. Dell treats their business
