Right there is part of your problem, most likely. 1GB RAM is far too low. I'd 
kick that to 4 at least.

Also if it is right at 45 minute intervals, something's happening every 45 
minutes to cause this problem. On my old RAM-starved Core Duo iMac, Time 
Machine would do this, particularly if I was brave enough to be running a 
Windows VM.

I'll wager that kicking up the RAM to a reasonable amount will help.

Also, upgrade that system posthaste to 10.6, that makes Intel systems run a lot 
better.
