How Often Does Your System Crash/Reboot?

Thanks Toby,
I can close down the AT & T and quicktime processes then I guess.
Off to buy some RAM now

With an 850 cpu it's still gonna be a bit sluggish, honestly.
Try to upgrade to a min of 1.8 if they still exist and make sure all chipset drivers are up to date (if your mobo can take it).

I reboot very infrequently, maybe only when I install something and my system is very heavily modded.

850 cpu is just not enough for win xp...the min. you should be running is 1.3ghz and even that isn't ideal. If you can't afford an upgrade right now, shut off some services that aren't needed in xp to make it run a little better.

i think the min memory spec for Xp is listed as 256 MB I have a PIII 933 with 192 MB ram running XP Pro and when it boots up there is about 30 mb free after the os is running and nothing else

i'm sure your pc is running outta ram and the virtual ram just cannot keep up with system demands
