I also got a cable modem a while back. I noticed no difference in rendering or processing time. While all the firewall and anti-virus is certainly necessary, some AV programs are real cycle hogs. I had been running Norton AV 2002 and upgraded to 2003. There was a REAL problem. When I checked TAsk manager I couldn't believe it. It just chewed up resources. I uninstalled Norton 2003 and went back to 2002 which with updates is just fine. I am probably going to get rid of Norton altogether and go with another AV program.
