I often have more than 10 apps (some are small, mind you) open at any given time and I'm almost never over 1.8GB of memory usage. The only time it spikes to more than 3GB is when playing certain games.

And if you want to keep using your ancient 7 year old XP, 1.7GHz Netburst-core Celeron and 256MB RAM go right ahead, I'll be trucking along with progress.

That's just one store. Where've you been for the past year?

Not buying RAM, apparently.

So are you running Vista for x64? Because if not (and most people aren't), then you can't actually get 4 GB for any price.

I can appreciate that most people have more than they know what to do with, but there's something seriously wrong when a web browser takes up twice as much memory as Photoshop or even Visual Studio.

I'm more concerned about the GDI leaks than the generic memory leaks, though. It remains to be seen whether or not they've truly fixed those.

I just bought 2GB of RAM for my Macbook a couple months ago for like $60 with shipping and taxes.

Can't complain at all for that price especially when its like $100 for 1GB @ The Mac store or something.

Of course I am. I'm not that dense. Also I never really experienced the infamous Firefox memory leaks, even with 12+ tabs open it never went over 500MB. Though, MSN Messenger has routinely seen 800+ at times for some reason.

You should not need 500MB to surf the web, and you should not need 800MB to chat with your friends.

You're joking? The program that people use to IM each other...800MB? Am I glad I don't use it.

He did post list above.

You can easily buy a stick of 1GB for $20.

I got my 4GB of OCZ XTC Platinum Rev 2 PC2-6400 for $78. Mind you, this was back in December.

Posted by Chris Allen on Jun-18-2008 00:01:

12 tabs open. Seems pretty solid to me

PS, I haven't installed the final version of 3.0 yet and I'm still on RC3.

i got my Ocz Gold Xtc PC2-6400 2GB just over a year ago for $79.

ps. directcanada.com has better prices on most parts than ncix.

i have been using it since beta 5 at work.

we have a web based java app and since i found about FF3 I started using it, noticed pages loaded a lot quicker.

can't wait to deploy this to the computers tomorrow.

i think i stopped using IE since 2004 when it gave me a trojan virus. so upset that i've been using firefox ever since.

opera is ok but was too clunky

microsoft should get their shit together. even to this day, i cannot install msn messenger on my vista box, even if i do a fresh factory install from install cds.

The only good think aobut NCIX is that you can do online price matching which is helpful.

I ended up buying my RAM from some place called Memory Express or something like that located in Alberta because they had the chepeast shipping lol

I'm with you....I have no clue what the heck everyone is talking about in here.

This big box on my desk acts more like a place to put all my sticky notes then it does a computer.

You see, I hate the "Computers are better, so why bother writing efficient code" argument. As that just leads to sloppy / lazy coding, and then whats the point of increasing computing power, if your just going to write sloppy slow-running code for it and hope that the computing-power makes up the difference.

Write fast / efficient code and it will /blaze/ on a good computer, and not slow down your other applications.

That being said, I love FireFox, the only issue I had with it was its memory footprint, and that seems to be largely resolved in FF3. Just to test it out - I have 20 tabs open, quite a few of them are on some pretty resource-intensive pages (lots of javascript/flash/etc) and sitting at 174megs, which isn't that bad.

Flash is the fucking devil. Absolutely terrible. When the fuck is Adobe going to get off their ass and fix that piece of shit.
