Sha. It's a solution for only one thing, not enough memory [to make one's computer experience a happy one.] Having a bunch more memory can make you happy for many other reasons besides relieving some of the pain of mozilla, which, btw, I don't recall ever using myself, although I do use netscape communicator, which is a memory pig of the first order on any platform. I'm also fairly convinced that it is a top notch memory leaker since forever. Getting some more memory can make the general X experience happier as well. Just an idea. a
