Serious IE Hole Opens PCs Up to Attacks
Ted, I'm running Mozilla on a 1GHz Athlon machine with 640M ram, and it
runs fine. I also run Firefox on a 1.6GHz laptop, which also runs fine. Mozilla takes a bit longer to start. I like both.

Is there some advantage to Firefox ove the Mozilla package which includes the browser? Ted |

I'm running on 233MHz PII with 64M RAM. Mozilla takes quite a while to load if I anything else active. Not surprising. I hope to upgrade soon but meanwhile I think I'll give Firefox a try. Might reduce the paging. Thankfully I'm not running 'doze so that helps and I don't need all of Moz. I use an old Netscape for the NGs with about everything turned off - perfectly adequate for anything that should be in a NG. I use the Polarbar mailer for e-mail since it has all the features I want. So Moz is only used as browser. This may change but meanwhile ... Ted |

So Moz is only used as browser. This may change but meanwhile ... Ted I used to run a P200MMX, 32Mb Ram, Win95 OSR2 with Netscape Communicator 4.7 for Web and news. That was a real dog of a system and Netscape would always crash if you were browsing the same group as it was trying to download for offline use. At work we run a variety of low end 2nd hand Dells ranging from PII 266 to PIII 450 and Mozilla is responsive on all of them except the antique in the workshop which is a P133 46Mb ram dinosaur and even on that, its perfectly usable once its got going. Any system with 64Mb or more ram and a Pentium or better CPU with a clock speed better than your IQ will work far better with Mozilla or Firefox than with MS's latest IE update. You will only see MS catch up if you throw a couple of GHz of clock speed and a couple of CDs of security software at the problem. The other nice thing is the extensions. Check out MultiZilla and Image Zoom and also if not running Firefox( which has it built in), Adblock. You can even browse Geocities sites without all the Cr@p. P.S. Old versions of Mozilla were IMHO less stable in news, Its worth going up to 1.7.3. The news filtering isnt as versatile as Netscape 4.7 but it seems to work rather more reliably. -- Ian Malcolm.
