      or that you don't have enough memory and so performance is really not good....

      My max memory cap, is 512mb. When I first got his old computer, there were two memory modules, 64 mb and 128 mb. I replaced the 64 mb with a 256mb a few weeks ago, It really improved the performance. I haven't replaced the 128, yet.  Memory at the moment is 384 mb. Is there a minimum memory spec for IE8? that is interesting.

              I just did a search for minimum specs to run IE8. One place showed 512 mb ram. I'm not running that much, that is a minimum spec. OH well, IE7 works fine. thanks

              if you're not even running 512 mb of ram, I really doubt how well your computer performance actually is. I consider most computer to need at least 512mb of ram at minimum to be anywhere good.

                My friend ran xp on a computer with 64 or 128 or something.  According to microsoft it will run on 64 but 128 is recommended.  VERY slow though

                  Yes my dad had an old dell laptop, which was a very good laptop at that time, it has only 64mb of memory, it runs xp without hitches but it wouldn't have done much more than emailing, word processing, playing music, surfing internet and playing games that are built into windows by microsoft.

                    but in any case, even if you hate ie, I'd still keep the pc updated with ie8.

                        thats the min you need to run xp.

                        My old dell runs XP, 384 mb ram. Speed-wise 1450kbps with chrome, 1320s with IE7 and ff. I don't consider those numbers slow. It does ok with most browsers except IE8.

                        Yes, I agree, this old computer has seen it's best days, my memory is too low.
