I'm not so sure about that. Bad memory can cause a lot of odd errors,
but rarely would it just cause apps to hang with _no_ errors. Before
you throw away that other RAM, you might want to at least test it.

What? You've got to be kidding, you reduced the RAM by half
When I read your original post, I recalled a laptop I saw about 2-3
weeks ago that was doing the same thing; no apps sucking cycles but

I too would go for that bigger disk. I put in a bigger disk earlier

Yes, I would run a SMART check on the disk before going to that
trouble. But really, 100G is small by today's standards, so I'd
probably replace it anyway. $65 will get you 320G in a 2.5" drive
