Use IE.

I'm using Opera ,fast very fast but seems to have have an issue with this site on a new install (posting takes for ever ) , FF 1.5 is flying on here .

Wonder why ? I have 29000 k one window open on FF But Opera is 15000k .
Thought it might be a cache problem but don't think so .


@Efakes , I 'd just reinstall FF 1.5 and go from there .

About the running proceses kill the ATI shit , once your video is setup how you like it . Whats your startup menu like , must be a bitch . Use a simple program like System Mec, Regcleaner ,Tuneup utility , or even Ccleaner to see what you have running at startup . Msconfig is a pain in the ass ,you want to disable start items not delete them . Then see what your processes are .

Another question is do i need all them processors running in taskmanager. If not what sorftware is there out there to tell me what i should and shouldn't have running.

Use the wintask process library via google, so just type in the process name that might look useless and get a description. Most likely you won't need half of your current processes.

Also he could check this site for info , not use the program so much as ask an expert from their site to explain better ?

How many Extensions are installed on firefox? Having 20+ could cause 200,000kb of used memory...depending on those extensions.

I've only got 9 extensions running.

I've read a bit about the problem, and apparently there's a memory leakage problem with firefox. I fond a fix but it didn't work.

Wtf? My firefox only takes up 35mb. Maybe if you get more ram it'll reduce the amount of ram it uses up? Lol just a joke since firefox used to take up a lot more ram when I had 1 gig.

currently firefox has a huge memory leak and a fix won't be available until early '06. uninstalling/reinstalling firefox 1.5 will not help. extensions have nothing to do with it. currently my ff is using 30mb and on first start up it uses 24mb. after about 1 hour of use it's easily using 100mb. easiest fix is to just close ff and go back in. as for now that is.

u should get u torrent instead of azurez. uses only 2mb compared to 48

meh? my azureus is currently using only 2mb.
