Just basics about my system, im running a AMD k6-2 400 386mb ram and an 32meg ati video card (dont remember the exact product right now) When i go to a website, say Slashdot or freshmeat, or any where that involves ads on the page some where, about 99% of the time it can take upwards of 2-3 minutes to load the entire page. Every time it halts on waiting on some address relating to an ad some where on the net, if i jump over to my fiance's P2 400 running windows and go to the page it loads the page long before mine finishs. If i hit reload on it a few duzzon times it will generally bring up the proper page and i can go about my business. I guess my main question is, anyone ever seen this, if so ever get it fixed? How did you fix it and is there anything i should look into other than buying a faster machine.
