Why so many put system resources before protection, I'll never understand. ???
Depends on the version of NAV you used, 9 was excellent. 10 went oversize. A 25% decrease in boot time from NAV to Nod32 sounds like something was incorrect for the NAV settings.
Hmm. Ghost 8 runs from a floppy, uses mnimal ram, imaged a Sata Drive. Acronis can't, doesn't, wouldn't even recognise SATA.
Before you jump on me about being wrong....
Ghost 8 is from 2003. Acronis version was from 2006.
Try booting acronis CD on an aged sytem :P You won't have the resources to do it. Now which is worst?
