You may be right there, Kevin. I am not a big browser so possibly the sites I frequent daily are light enough not to cause problems. I do find, though, keeping the above comment in mind, that, as far as is noticeable, IE perfoms as fast as any other.
P.S. Later.
O n second thoughts, I visit some pretty busy locations. Yet to have a problem. Instead of "I'm sick of it freezing the system when it quits responding. " Perhaps the OP could indicate if there are any specific instances where this occurs?
