RE: virus package / UDMA for IDE

With McAfee you can exclude some directories from VirusShield, which speeds things up a bit if you have to use McAfee.

since you mentioned McAfee... if you have to run Oracle on IDE drives download DMACheck from Microsoft if you want to try using UDMA.

Another question from me... is it a bad thing to use UDMA with Oracle? I think it just lets disk write bypass the NT kernel, not sure if there are buffered writes in there.

[don't ask why I am running Oracle with IDE drives, it's a test db. Some people might be running Personal Oracle.]
