  1. Cuts my memory use in ~half. Actually did a double take -- removed those DLLs from the folder, relaunched Chrome ... memory use doubled. Put them back, it halves again. I think it's more about GPU & driver than the CPU's feature set. Could be mistaken. P.S. those old Xeons are missing AVX2 though, some stuff simply won't run on them. In their defense: cheaper than dirt. BTW, what OS are you in?
  2. Different box. This is an x58 with a Westmere Xeon & a pair of 960s in SLI (i know, i know, but one of those would be sitting in a drawer if i din't stick in this box). BTW, check out VistaLover's comment -- on 32-bit XP the difference is night & day (for me). Without new DLLs With new .DLLs
  3. Hi, seems to be working for me (software) in XP x64, will update on 32-bit & Vista in a few mins. Edit: works in 32-bit XP and Vista, but running on software across the board (at least on this box). Another edit: partial HW acceleration in 7 on this box
  4. At least you have video encode/decode (watch YT at glorious resolutions) & some semblance of HW WebGL (to watch aquarium, i guess)
  5. Try different USB ports, and, if all else fails, there's a PS/2 port on your MB, pretty much for this.
  6. Version 121.0.6167.81 Hotfix is out. GPU acceleration's back for Vista & 7
  7. Disabled by default in XP, i think (or am i missing something?)
  8. Didn't those gents cost Feodor his last git? Anyhow, last XP-compatible version released ~10 years ago, so irrelevant to this thread. Last XP/Vista-compatible build released ~5 years ago. Are you suggesting the wellbeing of our beloved Information Superhighway depends on these? And the question stands: what, specifically, are they saving?
  9. Sometimes, dead is better. What, specifically, is FF saving? I mean it's literally kept by Google.
  10. Has trapezoid tabs by default, but disabling #custom-tab-shapes in chrome://flags reverts it back to generic Chrome.
  11. Didn't know that, but started using Supermium as my main XP/Vista browser. Works well with all my HW, even with 32-bit_XP_without_PAE issues.
  12. Lol, i knew i'd get caught. Not sure whose build that is, probably one of Humming Owl's, though the missing font/boxes tell me i downloaded the wrong one. Not sure why, but Humming Owl's Kafan Minibrowser was the Chrome port4me (iirc the spellchecker didn't work in that one, but it took dark themes well & could search from the address bar).
  13. The post you quoted compares 121 on XP to 117 on 7. Here's a fresh 117, running on 7 and here's 121, running on 7
  14. 360 Chrome worked for me (x58 XP x64 w/ too much memory), nothing other than Supermium did (froze @ 5%).
  15. x58 with 2.5GB available memory This is a bit misleading -- Supermium lags/freezes for up to several secs when launched, memory use spikes. Once running, the numbers seem representative. Mypal 68 benches similarly to Chrome backports. <-click See above. It's a memory hog, like most full-featured modern browsers.
  16. Not sure what you mean. If we're talking about XP, it's the only version of Supermium & is substantially faster than other XP-compatible browsers on decent HW, both subjectively & benched by Speedometer 2.0: Mypal 68 and Supermium, side-by-side on x99 (x64) On x58 (x64) On Haswell (x86) I use Google & like having sync. Different set of priorities.
  17. These? MPC-HC 2.1.4 MPC-HC 2.1.4.7z MPC-BE 1.6.11 MPC-BE 1.6.11.7z
  18. Tough crowd. My new favorite browser for XP, XP x64 & Vista; twice as fast as other XP browsers on all my HW. BTW 32-bit Mypal works fine on x64, not sure if there's a performance hit, though i doubt it.
  19. Arguably more secure than an "insecure" web browser on an "insecure" OS.
  20. Hi, sorry if this was mentioned already, but have you tried sticking progwrp.dll in \windows\system32 folder? Also: what's the file size of your progwrp.dll? (already had a 13KB progwrp.dll sitting in mine, the new one should be 125KB)
  21. Can't readily explain this, but the test does run without an internet connection: Running on disabled connection Result Edit: Might've misunderstood what you were trying to say, thought the spread between wired & wireless was nontrivial (it isn't).
  22. Guessing i'm that someone. Mypal 68 and Supermium, side-by-side, XP x64 on x99. This is on overkill HW, but anything Sandy Bridge & up with 4 gigs or more should show a similar spread. Subjectively, it's also much faster. P.S. Mypal 68 & Supermium side-by-side, 32-bit XP on Haswell P.P.S. Mypal 68 & Supermium side-by-side, 64-bit on x58 Speedometer 2.0 is not based on connection speed.
  23. Guilty. That's a HW install (x99 board). Plagued with the typical 4th - 13th gen Vista boot issues (black scree ~1 out of 3 times), but once it is up, everything's fine, been using it without issues.
