What browser do you use and how much memory does it use?

[MBAM OR SAS]

I use google chrome and this is how much memory it takes

[Guest victimized]

Those are active processes, firefox's active process right now is 57,596 for me, depending on what you use is for, which takes up RAM.

[Epsynus]

Firefox

90 800 K

right now.

[Matthew P]

Firefox Seems to use quite a bit but I'd rather it then IE or any others. I am on mac atm tho.

[mountaintree16]

I use Firefox and I actually don't know how much it uses. Would I get that by pressing Ctrl + alt + del and then looking at the processes?

[chimpy]

Its in the processes part of your task manager

mine is FF3 and about 90k

@ Chimpy

ahha! Thanks I think I figured this out the other day actually but your answer confirmed it. Now I know how to see how much FF or anything else is using.

[chimpy]

No problem mountaintree16.

I just opened IE and that uses 19k yet seems to take longer to load, unless its just waiting for that clicking noise it makes makes it seem that way

[mountaintree16]

@ chimpy

Hmm. I don't know too much about what takes up a lot of memory or not. Is 19k big or small do you know? And then, as compared to something that might take 1 mb, for example? Is a k bigger than a MB or is it the other way around?

Your computer makes a clicking noise when opening up IE?

[chimpy]

I think 100,000k is a GB but i might be wrong so 19k is pretty small, and yup the audio makes a click when ever IE opens a page... doesnt everyones

Mine doesnt make the clicking sound when I open it up. What version are you using? And 1,000 KB equals a MB.

@ chimpy

Ohhh. Okay. Yeah, I think you're right about the size.

Hmm. I dunno? I usually have the sound off unless I am watching Secret Life of the American Teenager on the Abc family website, lol I haven't really noticed a click noise. I also RARELY use IE. I basically only use it to manually check for Windows Updates. You mean the noise comes from the computer, right, and not the mouse? Just checking, I figure its not from the mouse though.

[chimpy]

I rarely use it too just to make sure it works i open it once or twice a week, and yup not the mouse

[mountaintree16]

@ chimpy

ah, I see. haha yeah, might not work randomly sometime lol IE was always closing out on me and stuff in the past. Not all the time, but enough to be annoying.

Hmm. I think that the clicking noise is probably normal, but I can't say for sure.

Hmmm, I've never had any problems with IE. I use IE and don't get the clicking noise whenever I open up a new page so I dont know when it comes to the clicking noise what might be the cause of that.

Chimpy,

What version of IE are you using? Because I do not experience the clicking sound and I use IE.

[chimpy]

The newest one IE8, my friends makes the clicking noise too, are you sure you dont have the sounds off or it muted?

No im sure of it. Sounds up and everything. Maybe im just one of the lucky ones.lol

Avant Browser, Orca Browser and Opera (latest beta) for me ....... no idea of memory consumption as I don't monitor it.
