Hello all...
I tried searching for this, but was unsuccessful. I swear I remember seeing something about this once, but I can't find it anymore.
I have been getting a lot of graphical glitches while scrolling in some web pages, and it was really bad in the iTunes store. Web pages would flicker, or wouldn't redraw correctly until you scroll it off screen, and then back (this is hard to explain).
I took a video of it with my phone (please see the link below- hopefully it works - it plays with Quicktime for me).

My uptime was about 6 days, so I thought I would try a reboot, and this corrected the problem (for now). Should I be concerned about this? Has anyone seen this before? Any idea what causes it?
Thanks!

Weird. I suppose your gpu could be going bad. You might try another user on the machine and see if the issue persists.

You can also boot from your OS DVD and run the system scan. Stick in the System DVD and hold down the D key when you hear the boot chime. It should then boot from the DVD and load some diagnostic utilities. It can then test your video.
