Hi,
I've been having some intermittent browsing problems for some time now and have seen various discussions here and elsewhere that could well be the same issue but none of them resolve anything (and most terminated early or with no resolution). Anyway i thought it high time I asked here myself and see If I can get anything sorted.
The Problem:
Web browsing seems to have issues loading GFX.
Findings:
It is not a problem with my net connection as other connected machine do not show this problem.
it does not show on a fresh install (although since it happens intermittently this is not 100% definate)
I use Firefox but it also happens on Safari or Opera.
Example:

Taken on windows box at same time for comparison:

It is also happening on this "Post New Thread" page, some pages are always ok, some are mostly bad, but occasioanlyl load fine.
The Box:
Has the following since a re-install yesterday (yeah I know what some people think of reinstalls, but they don't bother me and I am trying to get some answers here and I had to start somewhere)
OS X 10.5 fully updated (clean install, removed languages and left only gutenprint printer drivers)
Caffeine 1.02
Firefox 3 beta (like I said it happens on any browser and did when I used FF 2)
Google Earth
OpenOffice 3 beta (I used NeoOffice prior to this rebuild)
Opera beta
RealPlayer
Thunderbird
VLC
VMWare Fusion
So any ideas anyone? Everything I've tried has not really got me anywhere.
Cheers.
