Because he was a good friend, I took his old XP machine AMD-2800

I decided to format the drive , put in 2 gigs of ram and install Win7


All went well except (as I already knew) it will not update until I
install a newer browser. The funny thing is I could not go to the
Microsoft site to download it with IE8.

I had IE11 on a USB stick but I just thought this funny.


Because the CPU does not have SSE2 I could neither install Firefox
or Chrome.

Maybe one of my friends can still use the machine.

Anyone know a decent browser I could put on a low spec machine like
this?

I've been playing with this, Philo

https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

It works well on my iMac and is supposedly good on all platforms.



Thank you , will try it


Any luck?




LOL, the machine died


Will give Brave Browser a try on another machine one of these days.
