[quote blusubaru]It was all the pro application updates that did it in. The OS would have been fine. And for the record I had 1gb of hard drive space left, granted, not a lot, but enough. Now there's over 2gb. I don't know if there's some virtual memory issues going on or what, but my hard drive free space fluctuates. I have a 120gb drive in there, partitioned with a 15gb startup and remainder for music storage.
I'm not going to beat up on you at this point, you have already done your penance by now.
You need between 10-15% free space on your boot drive/partition to keep things running smoothly, or several gigs as a bare minimum, regardless of drive size, because of swap space and temp files. I have a 120 gig boot drive, and my machine slows down when I am under about 10 gigs free. If you have a 15 gig partition, I wouldn't go below maybe 3 gigs, maybe even 4. Run delocalizer and try and dump a gig or so of crap from the OS if you haven't already. And burn some CDs and dump some of the older crap, at least for now.
