running ie5 or ie5.5?  have it set to check for new content every visit?  if
so, images don't get preloaded.  that aside, there are a number of little
details askew with your rollovers.  i'd strongly recommend you go some sort
of approach that uses a function and support detection.  otherwise you're
going to be seriously (and needlessly) alienating any of your audience that
may not be using browsers that support the image object.

i'd strongly recommend at least taking a look at this:
