@ytvoice1 Actually, they decided to quit supporting Windows XP in what was it, 2005? They've already declared they're not supporting it, that's why they didn't release Internet Explorer 9 for XP.

LEARN TO FUCKING SPELL YOU RETARDED FAT PIECE OF SHIT. You have a nice day now.

@darkultra Hertz(hz) and Frames per second(FPS) are two different things. Let me put it like this, Frames per second determins how well something will play, if you have a poor system, and try to play a newer game, it will most likely play with low fps, which will make the game choppy. Hertz is how blurry an image or video will be on your monitor, the refresh rate, higher the hertz, the more clearer a video will look.

Thanks,it works amazing on my HP DM3 and i like IE9.

IE9 is like 40x faster than Chrome and Firefox 4.

You can see it when you play an Full HD video on YouTube with IE9 and than the same video with Firefox 4 or Chrome.

Than IE9 plays it perfect,and Firefox 4 and Chrome are failing big times.

Is the FPS capped at 60? I'd like to be able to use all the hz I got, and these new 120hz "3d ready" monitors are getting reviewers very enthusiastic. They all awe over how smooth windows and mouse cursor are at 120hz :)

Does Internet explorer 9 have an advantage over Firefox, opera and chrome by using APIs or undocumented calls that are closer to the Windows kernel? I find Firefox are much slower at Direct2D than IE9.
