Any kernel panics (whole OS crashes)? What does Activity Monitor say are the top cpu pigs? What do the app crash logs say? (If you don't know how to read them, please take a bunch, zip 'em up and email them to me directly. I'll take a quick look. Please DO NOT post them into the group). In Safari, do you have the page previews enabled? do you have fraudulent site checking enabled? Those two "features" greatly slow Safari and make it chew a LOT of cpu time. >Right now i am running MAIL and Activity Monitor and that is all, >aside from Finder. >I have 16.36MB Free memory and 917 MB active 461MB inactive, 140MB wired > >How is this possible?
