Why can't you open very many websites? |
[Edit] |
Answer
This is a layman's answer, but I think it's basically correct: If you open several web pages at once, your computer (or maybe just your web browser) will eventually crash, for the same reason that you cannot run numerous programs at once without eventually crashing. You are limited by how much RAM your computer has. RAM is the memory that is actively being used when a program is running, or window is displayed on your screen, image is displayed, etc. Gradually this is used up until you run out, and then you crash. So if you have a lot of RAM you can run more programs at once, or view more web pages at once. But there's always a limit.
