500796 2006-11-21 05:09:00 Dialup......sorry about that zahmad (8963)
500797 2006-11-21 05:11:00 It happens here sometimes too. Most probably coz its dialup. Could even be the ISP.

Altho 128mb isnt exactly a lot running XP. Most probably running out of ram.

500799 2006-11-21 05:22:00 Is the ME PC the PC dialing up to the net, or is it on a network (connected to another pc, that connects to the net)? Speedy Gonzales (78)
500800 2006-11-22 00:06:00 No network or anything.....its dialing it itself....the Windows XP px doesn't exist anymore....it was sold zahmad (8963)

Well then, I would say firstly, that if your requested page is loading, but the connection appears idle, could be because the web is loading from the cache 1st , then the page requests updates.

As for why the XP appeared to always request immediately, could be because XP is a newer O/S and handles requests a lot differently from ME.
