IE may have a 64 bit version but no one uses it because Flash doesn't support it. That's likely why other browsers haven't followed suit.

Opera 10.5 skin is beautiful and just as responsive and fast as the whole browsing feel, I love this browser :)

well since you clearly missed the boat on how processes are displayed on multicore systems why dont you save yourself the embarrassment and google it next time. if i have 2 cores 1 process can very easily take up 190% of my cpu cycles (incase you haven't caught on that would be 100% of one core and 90% of the other). that being said that was a typo it was 160%. if you dont believe me i can provide picture proof.actually ill go ahead and do that now. this is each browser playing the same HD video on youtube chrome: <a class="user" href="http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=fnzmzd&amp;s=5" rel="nofollow">http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=fnzmzd&amp;s=5</a>safari: <a class="user" href="http://tinypic.com/r/32zizrr/5" rel="nofollow">http://tinypic.com/r/32zizrr/5</a>the point is i want to use chrome but the demand on the system is way higher then it ought to be

yeah i know that but in Firefox the search bar searches google, wikipedia, youtube, imdb, the weather channel, amazon, yahoo, ebay, bing and a whole lot more i dont even know about. Chrome is cool but it seems like a very minimalist approach to a browser with a lot less features. People say Chrome is faster than Firefox. That maybe true but i have yet to experience it. They both seem about equal to me. Also, Chrome launches each tab in a new process which is good for stability but bad for memory usage and since i never have an issue with stability on Firefox its pretty much a non issue. All processes have some overhead so 3 tabs running in three processes takes more memory than 3 tabs running in one process.
