Windows/MSN Messenger Question

[Ahmed Anis]

I would like to know which messenger of the two takes
less system resources and internet bandwidth. Please note
that I am concerned of two things, internet bandwidth &
system resources. In addition, how much roughly does each
one take in KB/s up/down?

Thanks a lot!

Greetings Ahmed,

I don't have any specific numbers for you but numerically speaking, Windows Messenger uses
less bandwidth and resources.

Well, which one of the Windows Messengers, 4.7 or 5.0,
that takes less system resources and internet bandwidth?

Hi Ahmed,

I think you'd find they're the same, the only exception being if a TabletPC was being used as
Windows Messenger 5 can receive and send "digital ink", which would use up slightly more
bandwidth then pure text. Windows Messenger 5 takes up slightly more resources then 4.x, but
compared to MSN Messenger, it's negligible.
