For older PCs, I'd use Internet Explorer 5 (I'm talking Pentium at 266MHz with 64MB of RAM). Loads almost instantly, while Firefox takes forever. Of course there are other memory-efficient browsers, like Dillo or OffByOne OR, my personal favorite, IE 1.5 (pwn). Yeah, I am using 5. Oh, cool story. I am kinda known as the family computer geek, so my aunt had me come over and backup all of her pictures, address books, documents etc and transfer and set-up her new one (Athlon64 X2 4000 200GHD 1G RAM Nvidia 6150LE *drools*). SO like, I set 'er up, get her e-mail working, de-crapify the trial programs and download the Office programs, set up her webcam and configure her 26 inch monitor. Not trouble, she likes my speed so much she gives me the old one! 1 ghz processing, 11GB HD, and 256 MB of RAM!!! I am now in the process of buying more RAM, and she is good to go. And once I get money for my birthday, I use the last of my working dollerz to get a new video card, and SHE-BANG! Better than what I have now
