Opera is faster than FF for sure both on my amd64 and my x86. I tried Chrome once (early days then) and I couldn't tell if it was faster. I gave up on it because I was not sure if the browser was calling home with my browsing habits and if these were identifiable as coming from my machine/IP address. In other words I wasn't sure to what extent Google was recording my Internet journeys. -- Regards, Mick
