Nope. Didn't work. It did the same thing.

I was downloading a single 3 gig file and browsing with 3tabs open and watching the sys resources and it slowly krept up to about 128,000k and then locked up my desktop completely.

I never had this problem with FF. I like opera otherwise, but this is borderline totally unacceptable. I'm about this close || to switching back to the fox.

Yeah, but I've also had this happen downloading 100mb files and it only happens while I'm browsing. C'mon, any browser should handle downloading any file size, I've downloaded numerous files around this size in Firefox and easily continued browsing and working on my other apps without any problems, and the memory usage did not continually increase during the progress of the download. And to think I paid for this :x . I actually thought everthing else about this browser was great, but this is just a pain. I rarely download files this size, but file size isn't the problem considering it happens with smaller files.

I download 700+Mb files all the time and I normally have 20+ tabs open at once.

I havn't noticed any slowdown or increase in resources (the most I have ever seen opera use was about 90,000k)

Okay, I just tried the same thing using firefox on a machine with only 256mb of DDR RAM. I had 20 tabs w/sites loaded open while downloading the same 3gb iso file and had a Quicktime VR file open and running inside of firefox. No problems what-so-ever.

I'm done.  :no:

Bye Opera.

You must have a very fast computer, because with my 512mbs of ram, firefox can't handle 20 tabs and downloading at the same time, it crawls. That's with Firefox 1.0.3.

hahahaha! I just had this problem. With opera eating all my resources. And a couple other bugs as well. I love mouse gestures though. Guess what? Firefox has them also as a plugin! Bye bye opera!!!

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
