    ATi Radeon 9250 (PCI, 256MB)

    My PC Specs:

    Dell Dimension 3000
    Intel Pentium D Processor (3.0GHz, 800MHz FSB)
    512MB Dual Channel DDRam


    Ok, now that all that is out of the way, on to my problem.

    I downloaded the most recent catalyst control center (6.5) for my card series hoping it would perform better.. Didn't work.

    When I see animation on pages, it starts to freeze up really bad. It makes my music skip and stuff like that. Even the slightest animation messes it up.. Like on google, the blinking cursor in the text box.. It starts freezing up real bad.

    What can I do? I've tried just about everything.. Tweaked some settings around on the Control Center, changed my resolution.. Nothing works.

    Anyone have any advice?

    All appreciated, thanks in advance!
