Nah, 16MB should be plenty. I bet the cache settings in your iBrowse config don't even come close to filling that up. Surfing the 'net on the Amiga must have been something else in the mid to late 90's Early 2000's maybe, but...

When I had an 060 and graphic card in my A2000 a couple of years ago, certain sites that weren't all junked up yet with modern languages and flashy crap displayed properly and were fast as hell. In some cases, even faster than my 2.1ghz G5! Couldn't say the same using just AGA on a 50mhz 030 equipped 1200 though.

This is just my strong opinion, but since the Internet has been ruined by the mainstream in all its ADD, social and  commercial "glory", be nice if old-style BBS's made a comeback for those of us that can't tolerate all the stupidity and the incessant "upgrading" going on most of the social sites that render even modern computers and browsers sluggish and buggy. Some call that "progress" and I guess they're right. The more the internet changes for the worse, the more compelled I am to find something else to do with my time.  ;)
