I am so tired of hearing from gaming companies about how the next generation will be cheaper and more stable. Blah they just keep looking for an excuse to rape my wallet. Remember how CD and DVD technology were supposed to make games cheaper? Anything to make a buck. I now have to pay them for the privilege of what sounds like game testing something you used to get paid for or at least some perks.
This comes as no surprise to me and I remember thinking when i saw console systems such as the Dreamcast go online how long will it be before these systems act as gateways for malware as they continue to make devices more networkable. Now days with all the major consoles and smart phones online and tethiered to your PC it seems more dangerous than ever. How many of you have anti virus for your Playstation 3 , Xbox 360, WII, Iphone, or Droid?
I also run Windows 7 on my gaming machine and I think you get just as much protection using the freebies as a good host file or a black hole DNS. I think it's not a question of if you will get a virus surfing or downloading with Windows but when and how destructive. My personal vote is for ClamWin. The new version features an add in for Outlook, scheduled scans, and a high detection rate. It is however not proactive but you can always pair it with a program like Winpooch.
I find that when I build a new system I first think about what I will be doing most IE: video editing, gaming, etc and design my system around that. AMD or Intel let the fanboys fight that out both are good choices and have certain advantages. yes you will need to do research tom's hardware is always a good choice for getting information that does not sound like a foreign language. Also read the Newegg reviews for products you are thinking of purchasing.

Come on at least try to fool us a little. Now if you had said the Nintendo DS.......
I still like the odds better than my state lottery.
This seems to be the best and least expensive solution I have found although I cannot vouch for the validity of this claim. http://www.hightech-edge.com/improve-3g-wifi-usb-reception-signal-cooking-pot-video/6285/
