    Nice Comp. I personally use Avg Free which you can get at http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 It hasn't let me down yet unless I inadvertantly invite something nasty in but you cant blame the software for my stupidity...

    I also need some good programs. Like media players, music downloads and so on. I want the best programs because like i said i want this to be a fast comp with out viruses and bugs. Also is there a way to download files faster? I heard there was a special program for that.

    There are three main slot types actully.
    AGP, PCI, and PCI-E
    PCI is used on most expansion cards, but hardly any graphic cards.
    AGP and PCI-E are the main graphic card slots.
    PCI-E is many times better then AGP.

    Now, you CAN NOT put a card ment for one slot into any other kind of slot. You will break it if you force it in, and a warrenty won't cover that.

    AGP and PCI-E differ a lot, whilst AGP gives x8 output, PCI-E gives x16. And as far as that computer goes, not a good deal, much cheaper to build your own rig.

    And on a side note, PCI based graphics cards SUCK!

    Most motherboards have a small clip in the card slots to the right, just pull it and the card should come out with some ease.
