text: video chat hosting on my laptop, but the computer freezes. what laptop specs will allow me to solve this prob? i chat on about 5 websites at the same time. recently i like using my laptop to chat but it freezes after 2 sites load. most use a java based chat system witch seems to use a lot of resourses. first i guess im wondering what i need to improve on my computer to stop this. is it ram, processor, video card?  anyway it runs ok with 2 sites now and my laptop is a dell, p3 1.2 mhz and 256 ram. it's hard to compair laptops and desktops because my desktop will run all 5 sites and has about the same specs..  if i upgraded to 1 gb of ram would that likley solve my problem or do i need to get a new faster laptop.. btw, basically the laptop runs 5 concurrent video streams but it just slows down and eventually crashes if i try to run 3 sites. i really think the java applet each site uses is sucking up all my ram but i'm not really sure.  thank you i think more memory should be a good start. if you really want to be able to run well you should get something faster, mabe a p4 or amd turion, the faster the better. i would also insist on at least 1 gb of ram
