I've found it to be faster than everything else, tho' I haven't yet tried Chrome. Just a comment. If you're using Windows 2000, is your PC oldish? Why I ask is that my 800Mhz, 256mb ram, 10gb harddisc laptop on XP was really struggling..., very slow to surf. In the end I changed to Linux... got hold of the latest Ubuntu linux release in its i386 alternate version for older computers and installed that as the operating system. Then I installed Opera. And I now use this, with my USB mobile broadband dongle. This kind of mobile brodband, in UK, is not brilliant if you're in a weak signal area, and this was part of the reason why I chose to do just about anything that wasn't too expensive to improve performance. XP would regularly hang up, and Internet Explrer notorious for it. With Linux just doesn't seem to happen, and no need for all the anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall stuff that you need on Windows. rgds Andrew PS Why am i here? ( no not the metaphysical question). You responded to my Yahoo question on coolant leaks. As you can see if you click on link here, I run a liitle company, and my question was a bit of market research to get other people's impressions of what is around. Thank you for response rgds Andrew Hi
