Since it acts the same way with different start-up devices, you are probably right that it is hardware related. So what hardware are you running exactly? To rule out a software problem, try starting with extensions off and see if that helps. Also, turn virtual memory off, and see what your disk cache setting is in the memory control panel. As far as possible hardware problems, the first thing that comes to my mind is an overfull hard drive. I've never heard of a processor going bad in this particular way. If it is slowing down somehow, using one of the freeware gauges should tell you what speed it is running at. Try GaugePro. Bad or incompatible L2 cache can act something like this. If you have some installed, you might try removing it. tafkar -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
