Avatars Not Rendering

[Perrie Juran]

I just got a new computer and I am having a problem with other Avatars not rendering completely. All I am seeing for a long time is grey bodies.  It can take several minutes before all the textures fill in.

By default it chose "Ultra" for me.  If I step down to "Low" it seems it seems to speed up the rendering and then I am stepping up to "High"   I did not / do not have this problem with my older & less powerful laptop.

My computer is spec'd like this:

CPU: AMD Processor model unknown (3000.11 MHz)
