I've only got a P4 XP pro with 1.5gig ram I've heard it can be heavy on resources?
I'm struggling with Malwarebytes, rapport and kapaskey running constantly already!

IE will eat up more resources than Chrome

plus with Chrome you can run all sorts of apps etc from within the browser

we've got a P4 XP with 512MB ram and it's running Chrome and MS Security Essentials and some kind of child monitoring software all running happily in the background :)

I used Adblockon Chome and does a brilliant job. Most websites you won't even notice anything is missing when you get used to it. Don't use it anymore because Google like to track you if you use their Adverts on your websites/blogs etc and it's part of their terms of use, I already pissed them off once, well twice, so can't do it again :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Yeah adblocker just gives you a nice canvas, plus those flash ads really pound my comps mem usage!

haaaa!  :laugh:
Yes I have the rice version aswell it only slows it down to a crawl due to infinite character processing! :wink:

 I'm just not an apple fan even though I do quite a bit of media processing converting.
I built my own PC so back in 2002 it cost me £1K back then, but its showing its age even though I can get it to go 4.4Ghz on a single die! 100% fan with external cooling, really hard to watch anything with decent sound!
Despite sounding like a RETARD LAST NIGHT I'm alright with hardware and software I was more pissed about missing the bid than anything else.

I was looking at this little beauty and add my phase cooler or water cooling not decided yet!
