Right there is part of your problem, most likely. 1GB RAM is far too low. I'd kick that to 4 at least. <http://www.datamemorysystems.com/_apple_info/Apple_Aluminum_Intel_Core_2_Duo_iMac_24_2.4GHz_Memory_1468.asp> 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. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
