ENGAGE 8 "

[tinderbox]

i bought a scroll 8" engage (android 4.0.3) in December 12 and find it takes ages to load web pages:

Q1
what is the best browser to use
Q2
the box says its 1Gb DDR3 memory, but seeing other posts here ie 256 mb of memory instead of 1GB, where can i check to see what memory is actually on mine
Q3
can this tablet get updates and what exactly is 'firmware'?

Thanks
