If you need IE for your website, then clearly you don't need others to visit your website. At its best, IE is the least standards-compliant browser available. IE 5.2.3, the last Mac version of Microsoft's browser, is so unstable that it will crash if you breathe on your monitor. IE 6, the latest version that works consistently under WINE, is not much better. My advice to you is to migrate to web development tools that will allow you to develop for browser that people use this decade.

ok techs i found the only DDR RAM i got left 1gb adding to the 256mb provided with my rev c eMac how well will leo preform on 1.25gb of ram?

[DeltaMac]

1.25 GB will be better than 256MB - I can guarantee that.

[LeoTheLion89]

i meant would i see a difference between 1.25gb and 2gb?

Yes, in normal use you have will less pageouts, depending on how you actually use your Mac.
Will you _see_ a noticeable difference?
Sure, with apps that use a lot of memory, that will help your system to be more responsive, maybe more stable.
As always, more memory allows you to use a larger number of apps at the same time, so more RAM will give you a system that is smoother, more responsive - in general.
How much difference you will actually notice, and to what degree, depends on what you do, and how you use your Mac.

hey techs i have a question ok so i got my eMac today 1st thing i did was install the 1GB or RAM which happened the be the same type of RAM already in the eMac (PC2700) i also put in a DVD Drive since all i had was a CD Drive i also replaced the PVRAM battery now heres where the trouble begins whenever i plug in my Mac OS X supported USB wifi card i the mac locks up saying i have to turn it off oddly this only happens when i plug it into the keyboard any idea why a USB wifi card in a USB 1.1 Keyboard port would cause this problem?
