I would like to know which messenger of the two takes
less system resources and internet bandwidth. Please note
that I am concerned of two things, internet bandwidth &
system resources. In addition, how much roughly does each
one take in KB/s up/down?

Thanks a lot!
 
Well, which one of the Windows Messengers, 4.7 or 5.0,
that takes less system resources and internet bandwidth?

thanks in advance!

Hi Ahmed,

I think you'd find they're the same, the only exception being if a TabletPC was being used as
Windows Messenger 5 can receive and send "digital ink", which would use up slightly more
bandwidth then pure text. Windows Messenger 5 takes up slightly more resources then 4.x, but
compared to MSN Messenger, it's negligible.
