Exactly....you just made my point for me lol. Newer games will use more resources....and computers will continue to have more resources to use....lol. Read a history book.
 
[citation][nom]smuggl3r[/nom]I tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but I went back to Firefox. The reason: when I open a link in a new tab in firefox there is an option so that it will get focus automatically. In Chrome I can't do this. I have to click again on the tab I just opened. I clicked on the f***** link so that I can view it, not to hide it. Is it really that hard to understand, google?[/citation]

Though I can totally understand your opinion and I think it is completely valid, I personally prefer when a page doesn't switch automatically.

My reason being that I often pull up a page with multiple links, like Tom's Hardware's main page, and find multiple links I want to read about.

If my browser immediately shifted to the page I just opened, I would have to continually click back to Tom's Hardware, open the next link I want to read about, go back, and repeat just to have a backlog of tabs to read.

This is partly because my computer can handle many tabs though so individual mileage may vary.
 
[citation][nom]eddieroolz[/nom]Yawn.Maybe they should actually fix the issues - like Firefox leaking 500MB of memory with 1 tab open.Thank God I have 6GB...[/citation]
I have also 6 GB. of RAM, but since sometimes Firefox leaks like 3 GB. when it's open for a week, I got out of RAM lots of times, at least with Firefox 3.6.x and Firefox 4.x.
Now I'm testing Firefox 5. Let's see how this new version performs. :|
 
I bet you a trillion billion bucks that Windows 8, has a higher recommended/and required, amount of RAM pwnag3 than windows 7 does. Hell, I'll make that 400billion banana bucks. Also, I'll raise the stakes. I bet, call me crazy now, but I bet that Battlefield 8 will use more system resources, than Battlefield 1942 used lol. If I keep dropping $400 on video cards, and video game companies start releasing games that use 15 polygons total, I'll be ub3r ups3t, haha, durrrr. But hey, my RAM footprint will be so tiny, I might even wear a cute little onesie :)
