Opera News

"Are any of you using Windows XP right now?"

Yes, typing from Opera 11.62 on Windows XP. Opera is great - but eats a lot of memory; not bad when I am not running any other applications, but an issue when I am running a big application like Visual Studio side-by-side.

W7 (x64) matters. And yes, do not forget the memory...

comme il fait to day

Opera - can you start removing all these religious/spam/turkish comments, totally not related to Opera? I see them below every post, that's a bit annoying.

Anyway - I'm on XP too. Opera is really fast, although themed 12.00 is visibly slower. Also I don't know when memory usage started to be this big (I remember times when Opera was taking 300MB, not 600-800), but this is going to be hell, when I'll switch to Windows 7 again (only 2GB RAM) Can't switch to another browser - all of them are missing too much of Opera's features

Latest Opera on XP. Some extensions. MUCH lower CPU and memory usage than Chrome with less extensions. Dunno why but so it is.
That´s why Opera is my choice for many years. Ok, some other features are crucial, too...

On W7 Sp1 x86 though

but im going to help some people having memory issues in opera

my RAM is 2GB and heres my opera:memdebug configuration

some opera:config setup that i did

-Disable "Cache Other" under disk cache tab(this means opera wont cache "OTHER" content like flash videos,mp4 and some multimedia content..downside is that in opera:cache you cant check those videos and audio to search for it.
-Disable Thumbnails
-Disable bittorent
-Disable unite,link
-Disable UI animations
-Disable Special Effects

and if you want ultimate reduced memory usage..
-Disable "Cache Docs and Cache Figs" both under Cache and Disk Cache tab in opera:config(NOT RECOMMENDED to me since it will make opera very slow and not cache'ing content in disk cache and RAM)

as im typing this i have 11 tabs open(2 YT videos the rest is document and images sites) and only using 232 MB of RAM right now.

hope kinda help other people.

I think there should be one switch button to disable and enable the services listed above. Running browser in low memory mode..

belive me its too much slow. Im using opera for last 6 years . Opera 11 is bamm. Slow on XP. Im a xp user. But opera 8. 9. Not slow on xp. 10 littibit ok. But opera 11 slow on asian countrys.

U guys must fix that. And at the moment firefox is the best choice for XP users.

Hope opera 12 not slow on xp.

--Ayesh ice--

Ayesh u right said. Opera 11 is too slow.

Using Opera 11.62 at Windows XP (32). And I think it's fast

Yes, I am using Opera on an old machine with Win XP, but neither my choice is Opera because of the resource usage nor I know how other browsers compare.

XP has less than 2 years of support left (Microsoft calls it EOL in April 2014)

Glad I could point Opera to another test showing Opera being the fastest

I'm using Opera 11.62 on Windows 2000 (since my XP machine broke down).

Its running fine , no memory problems with Opera, seems fine with 512MB RAM here, fast enough.

I think the Flash Player causes all the memory hog problems.

thank u opera because you make me conect with the world

well probably some things you learn alone,and to learn you must to make experiments,i just started...

Opera in USB device freezes every 2 seconds on my laptop (win7, 4GB RAM, ATI RADEON graphic card, free 500+ GB disk space). That is bad. Opera should fix it. I havent test opening Opera on XP yet, but I bet Opera will crash upon startup of Opera in a USB device!

& so it Should.http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Adore.gif -

how can i download opera on my phone sony ericson xperia 10i

yep, 11.62 on XP and it works great, esp when synced with OM on Android... my one and only gripe is the history settings in Opera and how it handles pre-existing files in cache, there's just something not right, but it's probably just how I've it set up! roll on 12....

I don't use Opera since 4.05 version for nothing .

speed is good

great job!

Opera 12 is incredibly slow on my Toshiba X505-Q898 running Win 7 64x. It takes approx. 15 seconds just to start and loading pages is slow as well. What happened, Opera?
It runs fine on my old XP machine.

opera does it all. Now thy hv 2 inport music stores 4 downloads
