Is there a chat program where you can run AIM, Yahoo, and Windows Messenger together?

I'm looking for an instant messenger program that will run Yahoo, AIM, and Windows messenger all from the same "box". I find running all the different boxes slows my computer down, so I was looking to consolidate. Is there something like this that exists and works well?

~ "Gaim" is another free multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows.



It is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, SILC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Lotus Sametime, and Zephyr networks.

Trillian is the best program to date for this operation. But in the long run your computer will still be using along the same lines of memory as you would be the 3 programs all together, just its all linked into one messenger. So if your computer runs slow with 3 messengers. Its not the messenger its the computer. Time to retire the relic and upgrade or ship out..

I've used trillian for about two years now and honestly it is hands down the best. It's SUPER easy to use and they have a free version as well so you can try it out to see if you like it and it won't cost you anything. :)
