I worked on latop with 2GB of memory, and enables you work very fast with large files (for example movies) as it does not have to use pagefile all the time. |

Some days ago I would have sweared that 64 Mb (which is what I've got ) was grossly insufficient for Windows 98SE (which is what I've got), but now I'm not so sure. The reason is that the most RAM-consuming task I perform is Internet browsing, and until recently (actually yesterday) I had only used MS IExplorer and Firefox, and now I'm using Opera.
Well I don't know whether Opera is better than other browsers, I guess it depends on your situation. But if you're strained for resources, especially RAM (maybe not a common situation but mine for instance), it is the best one indeed, at least MS IExplorer and Firefox don't quite manage or care about freeing the memory they have been occupying and the system shrinks over time, which may lead to crashes. And I do support Opera's claim about being the fastest browser, it may depend on the site but the Abandonia forums are a very good example: with Firefox this pages loaded very slowly, and I thought that it was about the pages not about the browser, but now with Opera they load smooth as silk. Regarding optimization, well I've got nearly no idea about that, but I try to have as few programs as possible residing in memory or even installed, and this is easy if you care about it.
