Preffered Instant Messenging Client

[Paradox1]

What do you like to use best?

I use most all of the widely used ones myself, So I can't really say whats best. I think AIM is best minus the ads, MSN and Yahoo just... Seem awkward, I mean you change you're name to anything you want and half the time only one person on your buddylist actually has a NAME at all, and the other one has gay smileys lol I like basic stuff

Msn, most convieniant, and Aim really screws up with mobile.. oh well..

aim is screy all together specially triton! 70 megs of ram for an instant messanger!!!!! WTF photoshop dont even take up that much alot of the time! yahoo is the same too soemtimes it gets to 50-60!

Eh...AIM Triton is still pretty nice. The only IM client to integrate all your conversations into one window where you can switch to other conversations by using the sidebar. MSN is pretty nice too, but I only use it because most of the people on all the forums I go to use it.

nice if you have 2 gigs of ram and 70 seems like nothing to you for IMs.

 

[alvino]

I only have 1gb and it's perfectly fine.

 

[athlon64fx]

wow. I wish I at least had that much all I ahve is 512 megs. my system sucks. cept my hard drive and my case. the only two decent things with my system.a nd my ram is crucial ballistix. which ill get another matching stick soon. so I will have 1GB ram with my intel system!

A stick of 512mb Crucial Ballistix DDR400 (PC3200) RAM is only about $55 on Newegg.com

I know but if I get the mobo I want I would have to go DDR2 240 pin and that means a 1GB stick is 150!!!!

$150 for a 1gb stick of DDR2 isn't that expensive really. If you buy two sticks of Ballistix 512mb DDR, it'll cost about $30-$40 less.
