SeanCollins, do you have a Pentium 4 HT cpu, or a multi-core cpu? As another data point, quad core w/ hyperthreading here (ergo 8 CPUs visible to the OS), and I've never seen this under all kinds of punishing workloads. That having been said, 8GB of physical RAM is available, so if it's the low memory condition triggering it, then I'm not easily going to hit that. However, if Ingo's theory about something else overwriting the page tables is correct, then it seems plausible that a particular misbehaving driver in your case might be triggering it, else one would expect it to be much more widespread. The type of CPUs involved really doesn't have much to do with how the memory mapping's handled per se (excepting the obvious availability or absence of PAE), and from a multitasking standpoint, if anything HT should be less strenuous than true multicore since the circumstances under which it can multitask are more limited. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8345#comment:10> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
