bench scores aside, I personally don't feel it that faster but it performs better on heavy load web sites for sure

W7 = Supermium 117 = 80

XP = Supermium 121 =  66 

XP = chrome M115 = 58 

360 chrome 13.5 = won't work

Yikes. Supermium almost in single digits, nothing else even starts. Number go down; my sadness very big :'(

A good not-so-good read on Speedometer 3.0 here  --  https://www.techspot.com/news/97006-apple-google-mozilla-collaborate-speedometer-3-browser-benchmark.html

I was hoping to find something that says 3.0 requires Chromium v109+ or Firefox v102+ or something as the "minimum requirement".

Not finding any "minimum requirement" at the repository either  --  https://github.com/WebKit/Speedometer

W11; FF 115.7 esr doesn't start (same box as in my XP pic above, current Chrome on the right).

 

Edit: Current FF works.

Yep, same for me. Maybe our hardware sucks?

Dual-boot XP 32 & 64. What am i doing wrong? https://imgur.com/Daa5VB8

Hi cats, I see you have 5 Partitions, are they all Primary + Bootable?

Are all 5 Partitions from 1 HDD, or more?

5 Partitions

Hi we3fan, it's a regular MBR scheme, 3 primary and 2 extended [edit: one extended with 2 volumes, can never remember the jargon]. Extended partitions can have operating systems, the only thing they can't have is a boot manager (which goes on one of the primary partitions). On a different box now, but this one has similar layout.

Thanks @66cats, I appreciate it.  I plan to make new Partitions soon so I'll keep this in mind.

Solved the problem with monochrome emoji on Windows 7 and display emoji on Windows XP using Twemoji for chrome extension.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/twemoji-for-chrome/fopgafjdjlongoeblobbafbnapafcicg

Emoji are downloaded online, so the extension itself is very small and does not use much memory.

This is how it was on Win XP:

 

This is how it was after installing the extension.

... Yes, thanks, this solution was already pointed to inside Sm's GitHub issue tracker some 6 weeks ago  :

Not everyone reads the issues on github, so let it be here as well .

well x64 needs more ram then 32 bit

but there more things involved that play a role - i dont know all either

maybe it is time for a little discussion ...

the instruction code is a such example, when you ask for a offset that is greater or in a higher area of 4 GB
that questions is hit for example

a other thing is coding a int 32 is 32 bit big (and so stored like this in memory) a int 64 need 64 bit memory 

thats a important reason that the offsets need to store instead of 32 bit 64 bits 

this "offset size, int size, register size" question follow you in many times

i made a screenshot of a x64 app (regeedit.exe) , os is win7 x64
the app is shown as x64 in pe editor as in taskmanager
BUT! it use x32 bit instruction sets ! as shown in IDA
so in reality thats rather an 32 bit app

when i compiled some apps up i saw a increase in file size not 100 % but like 50 % 

and if i rememberright (in some older x64 apps i meant to see they tryed to avoid this problem in only using 34 bits, that probaly dont work all the time)

Not here please, as it's off-topic.
