Also, Rowan does not recommend purchasing an Anti-Virus program from a vendor.  McAffee anti-virus is free for all students and is available at www.rowan.edu/download (Rowan username and password is needed to access the software)

A Note on Memory: The amount of memory, or RAM, in a machine will determine how fast a machine will run. We recommend putting as much memory into your machine as you can afford. You can also add memory to most machines at a later date.
