I agree. It definetly sounds like either an OS problem or a Memory problem. Are you running 4x 2GB sticks or 2x 4GB sticks?

IM is fast... but others can benefit from forum posts-- later on.
Your choice, of course.

I PM'ed AW so he could help you because he's very good at digging out the "quirks" of newer hardware.

I understand that you are frustrated, and wanting to get to the bottom of the issue.

I ask that you try his suggestion... and see what happens.
