By all means upgrade your memory but I would prepare myself for no improvement in the situation as one possible outcome. I have SM 2.0.3 and Firefox 3.5.8 installed on two Thinkpads w/ 2mb RAM and they both routinely freeze up, requiring a manual shutdown and restart. The biggest improvement in the situation comes with switching off javascript. Switching off flash and adblock+ also appear to help. Obviously, these are desirable features which normally you would want to be fully functioning. The tipping point for all this started when I upgraded from avast4 to avast5, so that is also likely part of the problem. One thing I would like to try, but can't, is Panda's online realtime virus scanner program, which would greatly reduce (I think) one source of real time competition for memory and processor capacity. Need XP or later for that, but running Win2K. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
