When using Firefox loading pages and other apps open as well the system will begin to slow then freeze. Nothing I do other than a hard reboot w/button com PC case will help. I expect that system will slow but don't expect it to freeze. Isn't there a page/swap file that takes over when memory overwhelmed? Using p4 w/512m ram, not a new system... Is there anything I can config? Can I config apps to absolutely release memory when they are closed?

If you are there is a known bug that affects drag and drop events on it, you dont need to hard reboot for that, just Alt-Q and close the firefox window. If its not please provide more details. :) -- Bruno.-
