danny_galaga:
quite often when im in this forum, everything freezes up and ie seems to blame. but it only seems to happen with this forum. on the rare occasion im NOT on the forum when im online all that happens is things getter slower with more windows open (im on dialup nowadays). closing some windows speeds things up. but if it happened with the forum then i have no choice but to close all ie windows. any thoughts?

missioncontrol:
this forum runs all right for me at home on dial up with IE.... funny thing is when I'm at work with a high speed connection using firefox and not logged it is very slow....

SirPoonga:
How much memory does your computer have?

sirwoogie:
I've got to side with SirP on this one. It sounds like your computer is just not able to handle that many windows open with IE.

I've also tested this forum with Firefox, Mozilla (basically the same thing) and IE 6 both on a fast connection and a slow one (ISDN).  I've not exhibited any slowdown I can think of (other than a largly image posted thread on the ISDN connection).

Heh, I didn't pick a side?

I was just curious.  If you have 256megs that explains it.  If you have 512 you will be running close to using all your memory at idle.

At idle my computer takes up 300megs of memory.  This is with the minimum software I want running on the computer.  Antivirus, firewall, spyware, sound manager, saitek x45 profiler, ipodservice, gnotify, gaim,etc..  The biggest chunk of memory is taken up by explorer, then firewall, then gaim, then antivirus, the ati's stuff.  Then if bit torrent is running that becomes number one.
