ODiN

After reading on Betanews about people experiencing faster loading of webpages with IE 5.5 Final, I was disappointed to see that it's noticably slower on my machine. I also think there's a memory leak or something because just watching the IExplore process in Win2k, I can see the memory usage rise incredibly quickly. Anyone else experiencing similar sideeffects? -=ODiN=- System Info: Win2k Pro (OEM) 5.06 BETA Win2k drivers 2.0 BETA Video Tools Liveware 3.0 Dual Celeron 366 ABIT BP6 (QQ Beta BIOS) 256MB PC-100 (2x128MB) Matrox Marvel G400TV Quantum Fireball LM 20GB, Maxtor 6800 27.2GB Adaptec 2940U SCSI-2 PCI Controller SB Live!

Mr_Yellow: you're right... just tried bumping down the audio hardware acceleration and video plays great with no skipping! It'd be nice to be able to use full hardware acceleration though for audio.... -=ODiN=-

You guys having problems with video skipping, what motherboard and video are you using? I'm having the same problem, but think that it has to do more with the video drivers. This problem is mostly when playing DivX clips as well, and occassionally with MPEG. I think the more CPU-intensive the codec, the worse it is. -=ODiN=- System Info: Win2k Pro (OEM) 5.06 BETA Win2k drivers 2.0 BETA Video Tools Liveware 3.0 Dual Celeron 366 ABIT BP6 (QQ Beta BIOS) 256MB PC-100 (2x128MB) Matrox Marvel G400TV Quantum Fireball LM 20GB, Maxtor 6800 27.2GB Adaptec 2940U SCSI-2 PCI Controller SB Live!
