Opera is great as well, but it lacks the customization of Firefox that I've grown to love. I used to use Opera all the time, but then I started using Firefox and these little things called add-ons kept me coming back.
Certainly not in stability, or even being able to properly work with 100% of the websites out there.
Moot point since there's not a browser out there that will display _everything_ correctly 100% of the time. At least Firefox tries to follow the standards, versus IE which seems to purposely ignore the standards that they supposedly "adhere" to. IE has broken more of the stylesheets I've been working on than I care to count. I shouldn't have to have two or three different stylesheets because MS doesn't like standards.
I'm on an old Gateway VTX400 laptop. It's got a 2.2GHz processor with 256 megs of ram. I've got four FF tabs open and it's using ~75MB of memory. I've also got uTorrent open and Windows Media Player and it runs fine for the most part. It stutters every now and then, but it's never crashed because of Firefox. (or any other reason now that I think of it.) Basically what I'm trying to say is that the foot might be wearing a bigger shoe these days but honestly is that a problem? In the day and age of 2/4/8 GB RAM setups, is a few more MB used up that big of a deal?
Say what you want but Firefox is still light years ahead of IE. If there's only one thing it has over IE, it's that it follows web standards much, much better.
Then this motherboard obviously isn't for you. No one's advertising it as a high-end card that will suit everybody's needs. If digital video-out is mandatory for you, then you're not the target audience.
For me... No DVI and no reasonable way to add fast digital video out means it's not even on my lottery win wishlist.
Why would it be on your lottery win wishlist? It's a hundred bucks. I'm only a student, and a hundred bucks is a lot of money, but it's nothing that can't be saved for.

Are you sure you're just not downloading torrents with poor seeding?
Have you tried any of the better, private trackers?
Are your ports properly forwarded?
Is your client configured correctly?
Etc, etc, there are so many things that you could be doing wrong, I wouldn't be so quick to blame your ISP. Not completely ruling it out, but I'd doublecheck everything first.
Thought (I have a hard time admitting this) I would eventually go with PSP instead due to more new games (I have a DS..)
Though this is open for real, got better resolution, is faster, got two SD-slots,..
The Pandoara Portable walks all over the DS in terms of homebrew. The PSP's homebrew scene is amazing, but the fact is, you still need custom firmware to get any real use out of it. With the Pandora it's open and supported. The Pandora is one amazing piece of hardware. Sure, the PSP has major software companies supporting it, but the PSP's library is still less than stellar. The DS on the other hand has a plethora of AAA games, but it's homebrew scene isn't nearly as active.
Basically what I'm trying to get at is that the Pandora will have a massive game library due to emulation, the SNES, NES, N64, GBA, and tons of more platforms.
Tack on another hundred bucks for the battery, the day I can find a replacement battery for my Gateway VTX400 for fifty bucks is the day/. stops getting trolled with goatse.

Alright buddy, you can keep calling those horrible non-standard implementations of HTML/CSS "niceties" if you want.

Just get your swell on in the gym like me.
Come on, at least make your top secret docs standards compliant. :(

What do you have against The Sims? I think someone's just ticked their Sim children kept on getting taken by social services. ;)
Keep on fighting the good fight, my Slashbrotter.
C'mon, don't reward those websites with ad-hits, link to the homepage for it instead.

Damn you Anonymous Coward, how dare you make me giggle?
Nothing for the most part, I never had any random crashing or anything.
Wait, you actually read your chain mail? Mine goes straight to the trash...
