Well, the problem is that this technique suffer from the IE/Win Flicker which happens when background images are hovered. A better rollover technique is explained at SimpleBits - Flicker-Free PGA.com.

I thought the issue involved the fact that IE doesn’t cache CSS images. So everytime you roll over the image and use css to change it, it’s not cached and has to load it all over again. You can change this on the server by telling IIS to send headers to make IE cache it regardless. This behaviour is changed in IE 7.
