Home › Forums › Archives › Instant Messaging › Other Instant Messengers › Multi-Messenger for my old computer?
Hi everyone 🙂
I need a list with suggestions of multi-messengers that I can use on my old computer here. Pentium II, 350Mhz, 64MB RAM.
It’s mostly for MSN and AIM, but it has to be easy to use for my parents….who spend most of their time on this computer hehehe.
Thanks!! 🙂
What do you mean by “multi-messengers”? Do you mean one client that can run multiple connections to different IM services (ie. Trillian) or a messenger that can be run multiple times on the same system (ie. polygamy)?
One that is able to run AIM, MSN, ICQ etc. in one program. Like Trillian.
For that type of computer, I’d suggest that you use GAIM 0.77.
I’m not very familiar with O.S. and such, but I thought that was only for Linux?
Gaim is for windows as well as linux, although the windows version is quite bloated and buggy in my experience.
For this sort of system the obvious choice would be miranda. It’s a little more difficult to set up than trillian or gaim, but it’s extremely lightweight and you can remove anything you don’t need from it because it’s entirely plugin-based.
