Well, I have a self-made 64-bit AMD triple core processor exercising a 800 mhz Front-Side Bus and 4 gigs of dual-channel 800 mhz Ram on a broad band connection, and I'm saying the first and second page on the thread takes longer to load for me than all the other pages and threads, so I assumed it would take longer for you too.
Have you tried browsing the section backwards, starting with page 5?
If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you...sorry. Maybe someone else can help?
