Recommended configuration for Opera 9:

Pentium II class system with 64 MB of RAM and at least 50 MB of free disk space



Fair enough. I'm just saying that a kneejerk "use firefox!" doesn't necessarily help: it isn't that simple.

Whether you should really need so much computing power just run a web browser is a different matter entirely. My cell phone probably has more processing power (and definitely has far more memory and storage) than my desktop computer did when I was in high school.


For the vast majority of people, Firefox will work on their system.

I wish Mozilla lowered the requirements for systems or only installed a 'light' version on older systems.
