I think I have found (at least one) culprit. Looking in the CrashReporter log, Process: DashboardClient [1171] ... Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000000003ffc0 Crashed Thread: 0
Plus whenever I start Dashboard it triggers the whole speed dump problem. Also Bruce I think it needs RAM as well. With Safari and Firefox open with 4 tabs, mail open, and textedit, I am down to 18 MB of free RAM! So besides some more RAM what could be wrong w/ Dashboard?
