This early morning's surfing showed 14 threads with new posts and I noticed the time was 5:12 when I started reading. Simple surfing: click in, read, click back. This little computer's lacking ram and such so sites with lots of code take time to load and unload. I understand that.

14 threads later I noticed the time was 5:34 so it took about 22 minutes to catch up with DodgeBoard.

I had copied the shortcut to Bigun's site so I poped over there and remembered a friend and listened to a song ... and remembered him....

Anywho, back to the morning and a catch up on another vB board with 16 threads with new posts. The time was 5:45 and I did the same style of surfing: click in, read, click back. This site is similar to DodgeBoard but they encourage posting pictures of work projects. This morning's postings included 4 pictures that I also loaded... Total time there was about 14 minutes.

The noticable difference between these two vB sites is that my hard drive wants to do the writing on DodgeBoard... it's constantly rattling during the changes. The other board is vBulletin Version 3.0.5 and it seems to load without much hard drive'ing...

I know this is a lot of words to ask a simple question with an obvious answer but I'm trying to understand my confuser a little better....

I think my RAM can handle page changes with the other board but there's just enough code in DodgeBoard's pages that my RAM isn't capable of the task so the H-D takes over...... ? Is this what's happening?
