I have an olde ThinkPad T40 with only 512 Mbs RAM and it doesn't take Google Chrome to put it to its knees, surf gets the job done just fine. Surprisingly, another machine with half a gigabyte of RAM I have — a slightly less old ARM netbook, subjectively feels a little more nimble, and it doesn't even have a swap file, except for the zramswap trick, probably because unlike ThinkPad it's dual core — but honestly, I don't get how that might improve things.
Both machines are still useful with TUI software, like gomuks for Matrix and tut for Fedi, and of course I use w3m whenever I can, but sometimes you just need some web shit and I'm not even talking about JS-heavy stuff, even basic stuff that embeddable WebKit in surf can do migth eat up lots of RAM.

This is a man who is joyful about the computer, whereas my response was that of a humorless dick. I should pick up some beer.† top dog :pedomustdie: likes this. -
