Where are you experiencing the lag? In IE or doing other things while IE is showing a web page?
When you say you were just viewing the page, do you mean scrolling up or down in it? If so then what rich46 said may the cause. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Precision 370

But I wonder my graphics card would be the cause of the lag... my graphics card is one year old and was one of the newwest models one year ago. I've got about 2GB of graphics memory and it is rated by Windows at a score of 7.2... how could it and why would it be causing lags? | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Professional 32bit
