Ninho Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Hi !Did someone try to install Google Chrome on Win 2k ? I wonder if bypassing the installer version checks might suffice, or would the kernel extensions discussed in another thread of this section help ? Been trying Chrome (inside of a win XP virtual machine) and, boy! it's f.a.s.t.!Cheers,-- Ninho
blackwingcat Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Hi, please see it. KDW FCWIN2K forumChrome is fast browser, but it use many memory! If your PC doesn't have enough memory, it runs very slowly ! (I think it requires at least 512M)Hi !Did someone try to install Google Chrome on Win 2k ?

Ninho Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 Hi! Win2000! I noticed your thread earlier, but not tried yet. This will be a nice opportunity,& let me congratulate and encourage you for the eminent piece of work you've done.please see it. KDW FCWIN2K forumChrome is fast browser, but it use many memory! If your PC doesn't have enough memory, it runs very slowly ! (I think it requires at least 512M)It's certainly not designed for the web and PCs of yore. Each 'tab' - not tabs in fact, they are detachable full windows - runs in its own process. What they are targetting is clearly web 2.0 (3.0?) types of usage where tabs will be executing remote apps (with the fast scripting engine) rather than Granpa's browsing static web pages...It'll be interesting to watch this as it evolves, and the effect it's going to have on the competition.Regards-- Ninho
cluberti Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 It's certainly not designed for the web and PCs of yore. Each 'tab' - not tabs in fact, they are detachable full windows - runs in its own process.IE8's one process per tab was publicly disclosed in March of 2008 (and has been a feature since inception). Other than having optimizations in running javascript, almost nothing Google Chrome does is new - except maybe embedding Gears so that more people will use Google apps with Chrome, or sending back everything you type in the address/search bar to Google to be stored and mined when Google is your default search provider.
blackwingcat Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Hi.If you read the thread message 'How to install Chrome', however it is to understand that you don't need install KDW for installation .It only sets XP Compatible mode for download and installation.Windows 2000 can emulate XP Browsing mode with native ability, it reaches the point where it can download.Hi! Win2000! I noticed your thread earlier, but not tried yet. This will be a nice opportunity,& let me congratulate and encourage you for the eminent piece of work you've done.
