I have 256 mb of RAM. OS- Windows XP SP3 and I want to know which would be the fastest web browser for me?

Question

I tried Mozilla Firefox and I had trouble with running script errors constantly. It worked fine with SP2 but not with SP3. I have heard about Opera 10, Safari 4 and Google Chrome but I read that GC uses 5gb of RAM, Safari 4's requirements only go up to SP2 in Windows XP and that Opera 10 runs slow. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

When you get a script error while browsing, check CPU usage (Task Manager > performance). Most of times, it may have reached to 100%. It means nothing more than processor hasn’t enough speed to process data available on the page. You need to upgrade the processor. Changing the browser isn’t a solution.



Should you upgrade the RAM too? Check PF usage (Task Manager > performance) while script error. If the value is more than 256MB, definitely YES (close other programs when you test this).

Answer 2

Opera is one of the fastest browsers out there, however it does have some limitations with certain websites. Google's Chrome is a very fast browser as well.



Opera: http://www.opera.com/



Chrome: http://www.google.com/chrome



On a side note, you might want to consider adding more RAM to your system, it will drastically help your speed.
