We are still using 10.3.9 with all recent updates. Have noticed in the last several months increased usage as well and increased hard drive access when surfing net. Another issue, my wife has been doing heavy surfing lately doing some research. She notices that after several hours of activity and multiple windows open (I suppose 13 or more) closing a window can take a looonggg time. Switching to finder or other programs takes a loongg time too. She's using Safari 1.3 (v312). We're running a 1GHz 15" Powerbook, 256 MB Ram. We've got 47GB on our 60GB (55.88 capacity) HD. DSL connection. If it's a Ram issue. What recommendations to you have for quality chip supplier? Cheers. Dave PS. I briefly wondered if Apple has increased the fan usage because of previous battery issues? __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail for Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
