    Just received my R3 w/ 6990 yesterday and I really like it! However, I've noticed that when I'm using IGP and flipping through a webpage I sometimes see the white color change to a darker, more grayish, white and back.

    I haven't really done enough testing to know if its a one time thing or if it happens each and every time, or if it also happens using the GPU, or if its a switching problem..

    Anyway long story short I don't know all the specifics but I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem described above..
