2.3. Videocard
2.3.1. The space allotted to store short-term video data. It functions much like RAM or cache.
2.3.2. New node
2.4. peripherals
2.4.1. It also offers up to 8GB of RAM, which also provides an ample amount of memory for all of the computer’s necessary tasks.
3. Browsers
3.1. Chrome
3.1.1. I like it because of its clean design, its sandboxed security system, and its Chrome Web Store and the ISVs behind it.
3.1.2. New node
3.2. Explorer
3.2.1. If you can get it, what IE 9 gives you is reasonably good performance, far better security than any of its predecessors, and a cleaner interface.
3.2.2. hat said, even on Windows 7, IE 9 doesn’t compare that well with the other Web browsers.
3.3. Firefox
3.3.1. Firefox 6 is batter then eight and seven
3.3.2. Firefox 8 is better than Firefox 7, which I had found to be disappointing. Its performance, I’m sorry to say hasn’t gotten any better though.
3.4. Opera
3.4.1. Opera wants to be more than just a Web browser. It includes its own mail client, and file, message, and music-sharing service, and a built-in BitTorrent client.
3.4.2. It sounds great, but it didn’t work that well for me. It would take minutes before it would successfully sync between systems.
