Change the OS. That will make your CPU usage drop drastically. Also, Vista's memory management is self-destructing. That's why it starts out ok and then crashes itself. What you think is the issue (FireFox, in this case) probably is just Vista being Vista (high memory and CPU usage). I use an old (4 yrs.) Sony Vaio Core i7 8 GB RAM 17" notebook as my garage computer with Win 7 64-Bit.
