  1. hey all, i have been trying to find the best browser for along tine, i HATE IE.

     

    i used Fire Fox for a bit but wasn't fully happy with it, so far i have been using Opera, and am trying Maxthon and Avant tonight, what have you all found to be the Fastest or all-around best browser for your needs?

     

    Thanks.

  2. Thank you hazelnut, verry useful :)

     

    the scan says i have 256 MB of memory installed and that i can have a full 1GB and for rounded up $50 i can get allot of speed out of my comp, sweeeeet. maybe i will not have to buy new comp.

    Thanks!

  3. My comp has been slow for along time now and i'm needing it to go faster, i have about 50GB of free disk space left of memory...

    My comps nothing mutch at all, it was like $500 at Wal-Mart about 5 years ago Intel Pentium 4, nothings been added since i bought the comp, I use AVG free edition for A/V, SpyBot S&S and CC, i dont know mutch more about the comp off the top of my hand, i'l look it up in the morning, i do know its never been abull to play games mutch, and there seems to be no 3d card, all my graphics are run as onbord in the ram...

     

    i'd been using a 42 Kbps dial up internet connection but last month i got a 6 MB DSL, the comps never ran that fast but since then its been down hill, i did download Open GL to help with the graphics befor i got the DSL, it has some.

     

    I'l work on it some more in the morning, 1:57 AM now and 20 deg F outside, finaly :) been rosting all year....

    PS- almost forgot, i'v been kepin an eye on the disk defrag, its only told me i needed to run it once now, but i'v run it a few times a month... it only takes me about 10 minutes to run it on the Pavilion, and only a few secons to run on the recovery. the disk cleaner from day one will always freex the comp when i try to run it.

  5. hey all, i'm on a 5 year old HP running XP sp3
