the new firefox wont run well on my Compaq Presario with Windows ME. It only has 181 mb of ram.

I mean no disrespect, and I certainly cannot tell you what to do with money. BUT-

with such minimal equipment, you cannot possibly run much of the new stuff in apps and on web sites.

You could go to a major big box store with computers, even Walmart, put on a blindfold and throw a dart and hit something for smallish dollars that would bring you up to date. I do not recommend this as a way to buy a computer, but you are now in a crippled state, where the world has passed you by.

You need at a minimum, in Windows, for that is all I know, WinXP SP2; a modern CPU by Intel or AMD running somewhere around 2 gigs; if WinXP SP2, then 1 gig DRAM, if Vista, then 2 gigs DRAM, USB 2.0 ports; DVD writer (will also do CD's).

In Mac, Antony of one of the other Mac users can give you some minimal specs.

I know that Dell sells repo's and other un-new equipment at very reduced dollars on their web site, maybe others do also.

We are all here to help you, so please take no offense, none intended.

"the new firefox wont run well on my Compaq Presario with Windows ME. It only has 181 mb of ram."
- The key adverb is 'well'. Have you tried it (FF3)? If performance is not acceptable you easily can uninstall it and get the latest FF 2 - 2.0.0.14. Use the ".exe" file, not the ".exe.asc" file.

I recommend that you not use any Profile created by FF3 with FF2. There are several major changes in 3 that 2 won't recognize. However, you CAN Export any Bookmarks from 3 and Import them into 2.

I have a FF2 pre-release running on a 48M Windows 95 machine. Performance is slow due both to the limited memory and (more) to the 200 MHz processor speed.
