My main PC (an Athlon 64 3000 with 1 gig Corsair DDR400 ram and multiple 7200rpm HDDs) actually ran more slowly than my Laptop (despite this having a 3 Ghz P4 with half a gig of slow RAM and a 5400RPM hdd), which was running McAfee.

The main desktop is now running Avast! antivirus. I still run ZoneAlarm Pro though (the Free one is good though).
