If u use the "first" version it should not be a problem, For me (lol), the first version made it some how more smooth when i played source games...

Don't know why, but it worked many times.

Xfire all the way, its the most advanced for PC gaming an you can record videos in game, chat from game, surf the web, and all kinds of cool things. I don't see how only 11% or moddb users use it? It baffles my mind!

xFire lagged me really badly in some games, so I ended up deleting it.
Otherwise, it's an awesome program.

Steam, because it is the only place people dont care if they are encountering a pig with a baton or not in a game.

Also, GAMES!!

MSN for ever. I can talk with my cousins and my friends no matter where they are!

Steam is also very good , but I can't write Greek and many times I need to exit the platform to change the language...

Use to integrate services with Trillian, then move to Pidgin on my linux machine, but ultimately, I always use MSN, except for large conversations, which have used various chat programs such as Skype.

I would say this is IRC. After all it's the only real chat system around and an early one too. Beats the other crap hands down if you really need a chat. That said I use it rarely. E-Mail and Forums are way better since you can well-form your posts and have meaningful discussions in contrary to the smiley and one-word hell of chats.

Good point. It's though not a chat to be precise. People often confuse ICQ/MSN/XMPP(Jabber) with chating which it is not. It's "Instant Messaging" which is not equal to chatting. Though "Conference Mode" in Jabber is again a chat while Jabber itself is not :P
