Have you guys tried this since patch 3? It's faster and no freezes now for me.
SKViper, what are you using to connect to the net. A "winmodem" I bet. Utter crap those... they use your CPU to do the work of a "real" modem, hence loading your CPU when you are online. Not good for online gamers. Get your hands on a real modem if you can. Even an old 28.8 external would work fine for playing AH on the net and wouldn't load your CPU like that.

A pig is a pal, who'll boost your morale, Though mountains may topple and tilt.
When they've blackballed, bamboozled, and burned you, When they've turned on you, Tory and Whig,
Though you may be thrown over by Tabby and Rover, You'll never go wrong with a pig, a pig,
You'll never go wrong with a pig!" -- Thomas Pynchon, "Gravity's Rainbow"
