is it just me or does everyone here seem to have C2Ds with 2GB+ of ram and still worry about resources used by simple things like an IM client?

If A looks and feels better than B, who cares if A uses 150k more ram than B?

yeh but miranda looks great, specially once you've modded it with nice icons and skins and still uses small resources.

Miranda uses a lot more than 150k less RAM than WLM though.

Do any of these support decent POP3 email checking?
