I'm not trying to beat up or gang up on anyone. But I have a problem when highly inaccurate statements are presented as fact. And if I'm mistaken I'd just like to see some documentation. Certainly no offense is intended to anyone - I just want to try to get at the truth.

Quore by Shadow:- * Never use Kingston ram.  A high percentage of it is Refurbished ram*

I have had 2 upgrade's of my pc 1 small and the last a large upgrade and alway's used "Kingston" without any problem's. But to rubbish some thing that you may not have tried is wrong.

The piratical limit is sometimes call the 3GB limit with reference to 32 bit versions of Windows.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier

The OP indicates he has free space on the hard drive. One option is to install XP along with Windows 7 in a dual-boot configuration. After that he can try either OS and judge for himself which better.

Did he say he has 14 tabs open at once?  Is there not a ten tab limit?  :P

Well, as I am currently using Firefox, I just did a tab test, and realized you could go way past ten, 20, 30 even!
So that answers that question.
