None lately after 10.2.4 install. I have a 7200 rpm drive and 896 MB of RAM. Regarding the hard drive seeking you are hearing, I suspect that is the system writing a dump on the hard drive when the crash occurs. It is not a cause of the crash. Also, OS X should never crash because of lack of physical memory. I suggest you try unplugging all extra USB pheripherals and check the integrity of your hard drive.
