Re: Small Tip for Using Internet Explorer...

If you click a shortcut in the toolbar on your desktop, it opens an entirely new IE process that consumes about 20-30 megs of RAM. Multiply that by 10-15 windows, and IE can be sucking up a lot of your available memory.

Instead, if you take an existing, already open IE window and hit Control-N (open a new window), then you will open a new window with the same IE process, and it will only consume a small bit more of RAM, intead of another 20-30 megs.

Or you could just use Firefox 2.0.
