That's why you use Windows Live Messenger. And it works. Just fine. Not really sure what you mean by getting their shit together exactly.

It is fast, yes.

Originally posted by kaniz 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.

lol I love how people use this completely arbitrary methodology for looking at a memory footprint. Want to get a correct reading? Open it up, hell even use 100 tabs if you must, but don't run anything, don't open any page. That's the true memory 'footprint' of it. You can open 20 tabs, each with an intensive webpage, and even go so far as to open docs, PDFs, you name it. Obviously the memory usage will be bigger.

But I agree with you regarding sloppy code. Thing is though, when you get newer releases of products, most of it is based on previously written modules. Optimization is kind of difficult at that point. It's just a natural product lifecycle.

The memory footprint I care about is how much memory it's sucking up when I'm actually using it, not the memory it uses when I first start things up.

But, the 'fresh start, nothing loaded' footprint (+1 plugin) is only around 30 megs or so.

Originally posted by exstasie 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

with DC, you get free shipping if the order is $300+. which was good in my case since i was buying all new parts for my build. btw, DC is a sister company of ncix.

great browser. much faster now!

Anyone noticed that increasing the front size in FF3 actually increases the size of the entire page, really cool effect.

Yeah, i was actually going to buy my ram from DC, except they didn't have any in stock of what I wanted, plus I'm not one for waiting for it to re-stock, so I just bought it somewhere else.
