Too old for Roll20?

I got an old 10" notebook with a 1.6Ghz processor (single core presumably) and 2GB of RAM. It runs Windows XP. I've been playing around with it for a couple hours now and have found that the only browser (so far) that can even load this site correctly is Chrome. Understandably, I know that this is horribly outdated hardware. However, I've spent the past few hours updating software to the most recent that the OS supports. Even managed to get Chrome to the latest version. Still, despite my best efforts, I can't get a table to load. It just sticks on a loading screen. So I throw this out to the community, is this machine just too old to run Roll20? Is there something I'm missing?

Do you have any addons or extensions running in the browser? That would be one of the main reasons for it not loading properly. 1.6 Ghz is strong enough to run the site, the 2 gigs of ram is a little low but to run the basics without anything extra running in the background it should be fine. Chrome is the recommended browser for roll20 but firefox or opera works usually also.

Try Opera. It is a lot less of a memory hog than Chrome
