Sorry to (partially) burst your bubble, but Netscape by default uses one and
only one session. That mean that if you open Netscape and then open it again,
it will detect the already existing netscape session and link into that. So
in other words it is just like opening a new window. To really tax your
memory, try turning on all the eye candy possible (full-screen wallpaper,
animations, etc.) in your graphical environment, run a few Java and Flash
apps in Konqueror, Mozilla and Netscape, open a large MS-Word Document in
StarOffice, and attempt to manipulate a large graphic in The GIMP. With all
those running, type "free -m" at a terminal and see how much memory you have
left minus your cache.
Now with that said, congratulations. 192MB is a good amount to have. You
won't gain much by adding more.
