| 871596 | 2010-04-01 10:52:00 | I haven't noticed any issues with running it on an old celeron 2 GHz with 512MB of memory. It would however depend on how many tabs you have open, and thetype of website running on it. I however couldn't say the same for IE and Firefox, which are so slow on it. Hmmmm. Just installed IE8 on a celeron 1.3 Ghz with 384 Megs ram. In fact I'm on PressF1 using it now. |

It's not that it has performance issues - it doesn't - more that it will grab all the ram it can in order to improve its own performance. My understanding is that it uses this in order to do raw canvas caching (note that I'm not certain about this, and may be wrong). Such caching results in extremely fast scrolling and switching between tabs with minimal CPU load, because no part of any page needs to be re-rendered when doing so. This is a behavior that I personally like, but it certainly won't please everyone. Note also that I use Linux - I assume the Windows version behaves similarly, but I don't know for sure. |

| 871601 | 2010-04-01 19:15:00 | Been running Opera since version 6,easily configured to suit ,easily backed up for transferring to new build. have found over the years it pays to install to a new folder with upgrades to avoid glitches and dump the old build. With Opera 10.5/1/2 (still running Opera 10.10),this was developed for use with Win7 and most are complaining about it as people are running non-aeroglass skins with it as it is made for use with it's own skin sets and also has a few other changes that people can't get there head around. Did download and had a look at but I will wait until they have ironed out a few bugs |

| 871603 | 2010-04-02 02:48:00 | Because a number of websites will not work correctly unless viewed with Internet Explorer. :rolleyes: Thats crappy web design, rather than a problem with Opera. You can set opera to make it be detected as IE. Infact there are many website that break in IE8, due to crappy web designers. eg. The Plumbing World websites drop down menus don't work in IE8, unless viewed in compatibility mode http://www.plumbingworld.co.nz/ It is not as though that is a small company either. It doesn'tr work in opera either, and you can only put that down to crap web design. |

Wasn't sure what you were talking about with the Plumbing World site until I had a look with Firefox. Can see what you mean now. I dropped them a line and told them to pull their socks up. :thumbs: |
