[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1556535, member: 56379"] As chscag suggested...it could be a failing hard drive...or it could be a hard drive that is almost full. Mac OS X writes a swap file to the hard drive...and the less ram a computer has...the more the OS needs to write to the swap file on the HD. If there's not enough space on the HD...then there's not enough space for the swap file to be written efficiently. Obviously if the HD has plenty of free space available...then the failing HD could be the more likely problem. - Nick [/QUOTE]
