In my case, this is singe core, speed measured in mHz, not GHz. I do have slightly more memory than said crappy netbook, but only by 128mb. However, the hard drive is only 4200rpm, so virtual memory is really slow. The hard drive should be upgraded soon and replaced with a larger, 5400rpm one. Then I can cram multiple OSes on it *and* have faster virtual memory! > If we're talking about much older machines that can barely run one > instance of firefox, then people have to switch between browsers, > running only one at a time.

In fact, there's no Tor Browser Bundle that would work on my CPU, regardless of what operating systems I install in the future. Tor Browser Bundle looks to be all x86 and amd64. Fortunately, I actually have two or three options. Yes, I could stop and restart my pseudo-Firefox every time I want to switch between anonymous and non-anonymous browsing, perhaps even every time I wanted to switch between JonDo and Tor. I could also just use a proxy-switcher, whether the one on JonDoFox or some third party one. My third choice would be to attempt to find a lighter browser that would still meet my needs adequately. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
