I have a 12" PB G4 1.33ghz with 768 megs of RAM (256 apple/512 crucial)
lately it's been doing massive amounts of beachballing whenever i try a simple task, such as going to a web site, sending an IM, etc.
activity monitor shows no excessive cpu usage
ive reset PRAM, NVRAM, PMU, etc. repaired the disk and disk permissions. run hardware test (extended) with no errors. cold rebooted several times. ive installed no new hardware or software.
the only odd thing im seeing is when i look in memory in activity monitor, i have close to 30,000 writes to my page file and almost no reads from it
what could be causing this beachballing?
PS - 10.4.2
