I'm not a computer person (besides for typing), but I think u should get it checked out before something goes wrong. Wait, I'm not a computer genious. What am I saying!

I agree with frwl, it's probably just swapping. My iBook has 768MB of RAM in it, so OS X hardly needs to touch virtual memory and the hard disk is usually off. You only hear it spin up when I start running more memory-expensive applications or start up other programs (briefly before it spins down).

Hmm, you got a lot of RAM, or just a little? Might I interest you in switching to Linux?
