Yes "browse in a new process" is correct. If memory serves me that would be some release of IE 4.xxxx. They changed the wording in IE 5.0 FWIW. I stayed away from IE 5.0 for quite some time because of all the problems I read about. When I got WIN98 SE on disk I went ahead and moved to 5.0. I have no regrets. Running flawlessly and I believe it fair to say IE 4.xxx crashes way more than IE 5.0. In fact I don't think I have had an IE lockup since I changed. However that may be do to having a clean install with the WIN98SE disk. I had downloaded so many patches from WIN UPdate my registry must have been like a plate of spaghetti. KK PS Turn on that "Browse in a new process" you will love the difference. IE 4.xxx seems to crash less with it on. When it does go down only the offending window goes with it. It is a small taste of what a truly robust operating system would feel like. <g> One other note: If you open a window, go to streamer and launch (or any other site that generates a daughter window) then use the same window to go to another site, When that window crashes it takes down all associated windows. Better way: Open a window, go to Streamer and launch. Then close the origial window completely. Daughter window keeps streamer going. Open a new window and go to your next site. Do this with every site that generates daughter windows. (like Island java)

256 megs of ram if you want to do IE multiple windows - I usually run 15-20 at a time on one computer successfully - much more and system resources can get so low that seperate processes do crash entire browser (general windows fault) - you will begin to notice parts of the taskbar disappearing on new windows - use resource meter - not all memory or cpu's are created equal either - check this site out - www.tomshardware.com - specifically tomshardware.com for a primer on ram - can't stress quality level products enough - crash in the middle of a trade and lose 5k in just a matter of minutes and the extra dollars will not seem to have been so much. Agree with others on list - get best/fastest equipment you can afford and then some. Preferrable multiple screens - 21" viewsonics my recommendation - if you have the funds in house network of several computers running multiple OS's (just cause you never know - hackers have harder time with multiple OS's) with DSL/CABLE - always with backup - regular phone line - hughes direcpc - also can't stress the importance of proper ergonomics - good chair ergocybe.com or here officeorganix.com - good keyboard - kinesis-ergo.com - good mouse - contourdesign.com - all can add up - but after you get carpal tunnel - you WILL regret it - surgeons have too much money already - don't help them out :)
