Internet Explorer page loading painfully slow

[apmonte]

First off - great site.

Secondly, I've run through the steps on this page:

http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?pid=608&fid=4650

Basically what it comes down to is pages seem to take forever to load. Pages like CNN arn't to bad, but phpBB forums can be painfully slow. dilbert.com is also a very slow loader. My POS Dell at work surfs much better than the machine I am having problems with. Speaking of which - here are the specs:

AMD XP2400+
Shuttle AN35N
1 Gig (2x512) Crucial PC3200
Saphire 9800 Pro 128
IBM GX60? - 60 gig HD

I have deleted my temp internet files and dropped the temp file space to 50 Meg. That didn't seem to help. I think part of the problem is that the pages don't display as available, but wait for the entire page to be done to display. I could not find an option to display as available.

Last, but not least, my HijackThis log. I was not able to turn off mdm.exe by turning off debugging in iexplorer. (It was checked off already)
