I am running 32 bit with PAE, 6GB RAM, 9600GT running NVidia 280.13 Latest version of Ubuntu running Unity 3D, same problem happened with gnome 2. Happens if I have programs open or not, there are no rogue processes and no excessive memory usage when the slowdown occurs. -- Regards, Kris Douglas. www.krisd.eu -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
