You know how when Firefox opens a new tab, it displays the little circle 
of dots while it loads the page?

On my PC, that loads the CPU to 80%.

I think there's something wrong with my PC. Anything involving any kind 
of graphics puts an absurd amount of load on the CPU. :-/

No - this is my *work* PC. ;-)

I vaguely recall that when I set the PC up, it would give me all the 
video modes I wanted, but I couldn't actually find a specific driver for 
it. I'm guessing that's the issue...
