Re: Windows XP End of Life Approaching
Badcaps.net has always worked gread with IE6. I can open many many windows and still be using.. oh... about 200 MB of RAM (unless someone has uploaded gigantic inline images over 5 MP).
... which is one of the many reasons I like this forum so much: it doesn't matter what hardware and software you have... almost anything that can connect to the internet will work with BCN.
YouTube semi-works with IE6. Plays video fine, but searching, posting, viewing related videos, and displaying comments do not work at all - but I don't care about these most of the time anyways. Once I find the video I want to watch in FF or Opera, I then pop a IE6 window and play it there. Reason being is that IE6 is very efficient with the memory. Useful when using my slightly more ancient computers.
Yahoo! mail works great, but only sometimes. Sometimes it won't load at all ("Page cannot be displayed" errors) and sometimes I get other useless warning messages that tend to annoy me. When it works, though, it's great - I get a HTML version of Yahoo that rusn lightning fast.
HDD doesn't trash unless I land myself in a thread with 10+ inline images that are over 2xxx by 2xxx resolution. Viewing BCN and listening to music through YouTube, I'm usually right near the max at about 300-350 MB of RAM used.
And no, I can't max it out. Don't know what HP did in their infinite wisdom, but if I do max out the RAM to (a whopping) 512 MB, then I must loose ACPI capability

I'd max it up of RAM before the hard drive melts from the trashing.
