Last night b4 I upgraded to .65.. While in X (running netscape) I
expierenced peridoic 'freezez'.. The machine would appear to freeze for
about 30 seconds, I heard no disk activity.. It would be normal again 30
seconds later.. I tried quickly switching to another VC running top, but
everything looked fine.. No signs of high loadavg, no signs of swapping,
no un-nice cpueating processes...

I'm not sure where this problem started.. The last time I spent more then
a few seconds in X was in 2.1.61... I have yet to confirm if this happens
with 2.1.65

Here is my system info, any clues:
