I has to be software, either pare the installed software down to a workable
minimum, or get a new HD and start over again with a fresh OS install, then
install your drivers and your apps, then your restored data files (from you
regular backup medium of choice)... What, you don't have a backup?
It has got to be software - the HD couldn't corrupt the files just enough to
cause memory leaks, but not bring the system to a halt. (IMHO)
Get a fresh drive and take you rtime (12 Gig HDs are approaching $100 - a
*steal* compared to what I paid for my 3.2 Gig two years ago...)
