Brie,

I run a Mac graphics lab, and we are running Netscape 4.5.1 and 4.6. These
run just fine, though I make sure I bump up the allocated memory to approx
30 megs. Not doing this results in frequent crashes. I don't have all that
much RAM (64 megs, set to 128 virtual memory), and having multiple
memory-hungry programs open will result in a crash or freeze. But this is
more about memory management than the stability of the program.

I also use Internet Explorer on my office Mac... no problems there either.
