I'm using the latest Safari under 10.5.8. A Geforce 4MX video card

Safari? Haven't seen it anywhere else that I can remember.
Could be that the top sites cache is corrupted. Try resetting the
caches - select Reset Safari from the Safari menu and check the
items to clear the top sites, the previews, and the cache.
If that doesn't fix... When the artifacts appear, take a screen
snapshot (cmd-shift-3) then view that picture. If the artifacts are
in the picture then there's something foo on your Mac. If the
artifacts aren't there, then they're being produced in the video
card. Then perhaps try reseating the card? Clean the cable
connectors?
Well ...
I tried Reset > Safari to no avail, then tried disassembling my Mac,
reseating all PCI cards (SATA and USB2) and memory after cleaning
contacts.
The streaking only appears regularly in Safari's Top Sites window.
iTunes in Cover Flow doesn't show any issues.
Don't know.
