I've been running this MDD for about a year now with the same OS

DL Superdrive
64MB Video Card
3 PCI USB Cards
Here is the problems I've been having: First Safari will randomly
quit. Doesn't matter what I'm doing or what site, it just quits
sometimes. Illustrator started doing the same thing, and for a while
wouldn't open at all. Netzero.app wouldn't open for about five
minutes, but now opens fine. Fetch suddenly quit, and wouldn't open
for a while. I was testing some hard drives and opened disk utility.
The first time, it only showed up with some of the hard drives. I
quit it and came back it inconsistently will display all of the hard
drives. Also, the other day, I opened a folder on one of the hard
drives, and the finder relaunched. I went back and opened the same
folder and it opened just fine. One more thing: I opened iTunes, and
it wasn't like it was frozen, but i couldn't select the window. It
was faded in the background like i was on another window and i
couldn't select it. It wasn't frozen though, and I could move the
window around. I quit it and came back and it works fine.
Any Ideas? Thanks for the help in advanced!

I had similar behavior, and everything's fine now after reseating the
RAM (and testing).
Might be a RAM issue. Have you reseated them recently, getting the
dust out? and/or tested them with applejack > memtest?
Might be a hard drive going bad, too. Weird response from files on a
disk going bad ...
