    What brower do you generally prefer? IE, Mozilla/Firefox?

    Firefox is a hog, but it's still good. I still use IE from time to time.

    Firefox all the way. Haven't used IE since Firefox came out.

    Actually, I sometimes use 64-bit IE, just because, well, it's 64-bit! :cool:

    There are some sites Firefox does not play well with, but on the whole it it a great product.

    I hate how much RAM it takes up. It starts out at a reasonable amount but as gradually crawls up to some huge amount. It doesn't become a problem until I start doing more things (video conversions, watching a DVD, etc), but it does seem to be a problem that needs to be fixed. I've had the same problem with nearly every version I've used.

    Right now, the taskmanager says that it's at 53,000 K.

    It's a good program and it comes highly recommended, but it could definately be better. The security is worth the resources it uses, though.
