Silver_Moon Record enthusiast Registered: 09/15/09 Posts: 2519 Loc: Teetering between IL and AZ	I need some help finding a light browser for Windows 7. I've been using IE but it takes up too much of the CPU and RAM. is there a lighter one I can use? (Google doesn't help, Reboot. I need reccommendations.) _________________________ "I'm a little bit more unusual so I've always considered myself the black sheep." - Ann Wilson

Reboot Muhahahaha Registered: 04/22/02 Posts: 15032 Loc: Columbus OH	I never read your crap John. I'm guilty of reading the first post and replying before reading the whole thread. I did see it, but it shows IE as first so I figured it might be biased since it's a developers site. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
