    hey Kris,

    just to let you know this tweak works for users with less than 1gb of ram also.

    not just people with 1gb+

    hey kris, i tried this a while back for a few days, and i have exactly 1GB of ram for my dell inspiron 6400 laptop

    this made my system really unstable, like the windows explorer and stuff started freezing/acting up.

    Kris,

    Is there a download button for this stuff? I can’t find one ANYWHERE!!! I used both Firefox and IE7 but I still can’t find the Download Button!!! Besides I’m the one who needs this most because MY computer is a 735 MHz Celeron with only 257 MB of RAM and NO PENTIUM! That’s MHz, NOT GHz!

    thx mate

    Ishak,
    It says that the download link has expired.
    Kris, where can we get this Ramdisk please/?

  9. Jamie says:

    does this tweak work in Vista by any chance? I’ve done the ones in Firefox “about:config” but what about the little “RAM Disk” trick Kris? I’ve refrained from attempting that one until I can make 100% it wont cause any problems that may be linked to the many compatibility issues Vista has.

    thanks for sharing.

  10. I think it might be useful if you put a typed version of the Speed up FireFox, as I found your instructions it a little difficult to follow in the video – no offence meant

    Hey Kris,

    when you are talking about the new string to add to FF I can understand you till you
    get to the word after .disk…….what is the next word?

    Thanks.

    Jess

  12. Jess says:

    Okay,

    I finally figured out what you were saying.

    For those who listen to this that had the same problem
    understanding Kris….

    Here is the string to enter on about:config

    browser.cache.disk.parent_directory

    By the way Kris…..You Rock dude!!!!!!

    My firefox is lighting fast compaired to what it was.

    I usually have 20 to 30 tabs open and it is really sluggish
    after while. In fact it can get so slow I have to shut down and reboot.

    Thanks for the tips buddy.

    Hi Kris. I presume that first off ALL of these tweaks work also with Vista?

    Do you know if the Faster Firefox tweak works with the Flock browser which is built on the Firefox platform?

    Many thanks ..
