Maybe IE9 is another bloated piece of $hit from MS and your better sticking off with something like Chrome, as I play fb games on a netbook and never get any problems when using Chrome.

I suspect the browser or flash. Firefox often got up to over 1GB RAM usage if I left it running after being on a flash site. I've given up using it now and there doesn't seem to be a problem so probably the browser.

Yes, I've been having that problem with IE9 and Zynga's Words With Friends for the last month. After an hour, I have to kill all the IE sessions in the task manager. Usually 500MB-1GB by that point.
