I was told by the rep at the RSA convention that is was not a resource hog like Symantec. BAM! It takes up 90 + % of my CPU RAM almost all the time with 1GB of RAM.

ESET Nod32 uses comparatively lesser resources than any other comparable antivirus software out there. Any P-iii computer Running XP with about 256 RAM could run ESET Nod32 quite smoothly.
