Perhaps test out how it feels if FF blocks automatic image downloads.
AFAIK, you have to have IE 8 installed for SP3, but you don't have to


Nope - this came with SP3 as new, and has IE 6 (hardly ever used, not
because it's full of security holes - which I know it is - but because I
just prefer to have a browser that's more independent of the OS).

[FWIW, FF - 12.0 - runs fine on here (1.3 GHz single core, 2G) without
images turned off; it still eats more memory than I think it should
(currently 154K), but other than that, it's OK.]

All's well that ends.
