I did the same thing. Nvidia and ATI act differently. ATI works like wonder but I like Nvidia. I noticed that too which cause the graphic a little corrupted due to driver issue. Some works fine and dandy on some mobo, some don't work with mobo well. I fixed my friend's pc which had 32mb AGP ATI Rage Pro w/ TV tuner build in which his friend built and tried to re-install XP and it get BSOD (blue screen of death) every time. I quickly spotted the problem and swapped the ATI graphic card with my own ATI Radeon 9000 Pro card. It works like charm during XP reinstallation. AFter that I swapped back and it was slow going. I installed my "loaner" Nvidia 64mb PCI MX400 graphic card for a while. A year later, I heard that his friend is building him a new system. I told him that I want my "loaner" back! So I got it. (His system was already down and was using his old computer. ). I sure hope his friend not putting in old graphic card into new system so it won't be a hassle. He buy cheap mobo tho..

Yeah, I meant that. But, why are you on AD.com then? (Thought your computer didn't have I.E (Firefox nor other software doesn't count ;))

If it's invisible, how does one see it there?

Exactly my point.

I've had people do that to me... "Hey, something's wrong with my computer. See that invisible line there?" WTF?

There is a clear line to appear on the screen every time you scroll down, or up the internet page. I said invisible, because once when you stop the scrolling, the line is not there anymore. When you scroll down/up, it shows. It is all solved, because that problem were caused by the video card. Now you are WTFless? :afro:
 
Back old day we used to have Win 95, 98, and ME, We can easily remove IE by using "IE" removal software that replaces IE with dummy integrated program. It made Windows fly like it were 3.0 Ghz. I've used that on Packard Bell F-170 (Overclocked 200mhz, 64mb EDO, 2gb hdd and wussy 2mb Cirrus Logic GPU. Click on any icons and window popped in split second!! But I noticed the inherent problem that printer program won't work at all. Also I tried to run MS office 97, It poppped with error message.

M$'s integrated browser does eat up performance. No wonder why we ended up with powerful processor, GB worth of memory and powerful graphic card and still get slow going around. Be nice that we can throw out IE and install browser of our choice and it'll flies like supercomputer LOL. I wonder how game runs if IE browser were ripped out. I bet it'll be one of your best gaming experinece in the world.

Just close the IE when play games are fine, IE don't take too much processor or memory, that is so far what I checked with gauge.

Close the IE means processor is on idle, only system would do it.

I guess that IE is more ripped on AMD, like you got issue, not mine because I'm using Windows via Intel.

No, I mean rip out IE from XP or Vista, It'll fly like supercomputer. It doesnt matter if you close it. It's just integration that cause everything slow even with fastest computer. I prefer modular design instead of integrated. I've seen it, handled it on my old pc back then. I knew something behind M$.

Given an idea in mechanical terminology, Some small engine (like lawn mower) have governor, If governor is removed, it'll make engine run faster (go red line and explode LOL). I've seen 250cc scooter (like moped) online show 65mph (85mph ungoverned). Which mean exhaust pipe that have "limiter" in it. grind bigger hole and put it back, it'll go 85mph.

So give you idea removing integrated IE and replace with dummy integrated software, Windows will run fast regardless size of processor or memory.

Hope you get an idea.

I guess that you don't check out the processor activity or task, when not use IE then CPU is idle, it would tell about how much processor would use it, I had run IE on Vista and my CPU and RAM is still low.

I know that you did installed windows on emulator, emulator would make more worse, it does same with Parallel Desktop or Fusion, I had tried both of them then they aren't faster as bootcamp does.

Remember, not all computer are same.

Also, IE 7 is so slower on my old HP with Pentium 4, that so unstable, same with Zune Player.

This line is called page tearing.

You only see line when there is some motion on the screen but when motion stop line disappears.

It mean the video card is running at a different refresh rate than what your monitor can handle.

Here more info about it Page tearing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ah, got it... yep, a video card issue.

It can be related to many things.

For instance, CRT monitors have a faster refresh rate than LCD monitors. So, when you're playing high-speed FPS computer games... you'll likely notice a ghost-like blur when you're moving around. This doesn't really happen on CRT monitors, but likely happen on LCD monitors.

The same applies to other programs.

For instance, I'm using a very old graphic card from 2001. There are some extremely advanced flash games and videos that don't run well on my computer. :(

No, They no longer have IE removal software today. It was back in 1999 that you can download for free. I did fresh install Win ME then used IE removal software. Then reinstall IE as a stand alone browser (back then didn't have Firefox). PC ran really fast. But today's PC with XP, It's not possible to remove integrated IE browser. It can be done by editing registery if you are expert on it. So we're pretty much stuck with it. Wish'n M$ didn't integrate IE into Windows. Integration sometime can bog down performance even it's on idle. To make PC run really fast. You'll have to Overclock CPU, GPU and DDR memory PLUS 10K rpm hard drive. PLUS Win XP hack and tweak.

There are software called "XP Lite". I did download trial version and installed it on my 500mhz Dell laptop. It did go really fast but some apps were removed that I could not use associate with some software. Not worth it.

So that's basically it.

Yup I agree with you on CRT and LCD monitors. Actually, it depend what brand you are using. I've seen it before.

AS for graphic card. There are driver fix to prevent "tearing". You'll have to go to graphic card"s home page and download update once in a while. This will help solve problems.

IE don't slow or affect performance on my Intel iMac when run under bootcamp, just run so perfect, you are mention about issue on IE isn't my issue. Both of my CPU and GPU are stock, normal, no overclock and 7,200 RPM HDD, all of them are run so perfect.

My mother own old laptop with Pentium 2 and Windows ME, IE was so slow and unstable then she has use firefox or old version of Opera but cannot use safari because ME isn't supported, that's so slower laptop like full of crap. She don't want upgrade into XP because Pentium 2 isn't good so enough.

I said its depends on computers, from CPU to RAM, it can be normal or slower with IE.

I actually like the IE because it also does FTP. ;)

It does same with my old PC, Intel Extreme Graphic and it was started in 2002 with Northwood CPU, codename for Pentium 4. It doesn't play The Sims so well, just choppy and lag, even don't well on heavier flash games too. I think that you are using GeForce 2 or 3, plus GeForce 2 and 3 is better than Intel Extreme Graphic.

Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHz would be ok if add more RAM, such as 1GB or above but my old PC is max at 1GB but 512MB don't perform so enough.
