IE Explorer X Firefox

[Prel]

Hi all,

 

Who uses more resources of the machine and memory, when visualizing 4 different sites?

 

IE Explorer with 4 open windows or

Fireworks with 4 open tabs ?

 

Thank´s

I would think IE since you have 4 distinct occurrences running.

Here's what I found in a quick test:

 

Firefox -

. minimized - 4 open tabs to MSN.COM Memory - 4,004 K

. minimised - 4 open tabs to MSN.COM Memory - 10,660 KK

 

IE -

. minimized - 4 open windows to MSN.COM Memory - 14,012 K

. maximised - 4 open windows to MSN.COM Memory - 29,568 K

 

 

The numbers were not totally stable but this is closest to the "real number" I could get.

IE is not as bad as I thought it would be but we must remember that they have the advantage of all of the Windows tricks that other people don't know about (and thus is the heart of many lawsuits).

 

This was run on my work computer - P4 3.00GHz Hyperthread with 1 Gig of memory.
